Japanese firms against holding Olympics next summer: survey
More than half of Japanese companies believe the Tokyo Olympics, originally planned for this summer but postponed for a year due to the novel coronavirus, should be cancelled or put off again, a survey by a Japanese think-tank found.
Of some 13,000 companies that responded to the poll by Tokyo Shoko Research, 27.8% said the sporting event should be cancelled while 25.8% saw another postponement as desirable.
“With the end of the spread of infection nowhere in sight, companies are divided into for and against holding the event in 2021,” the research group said in a report, published on Thursday.
The poll was conducted over the Internet between late July and early August.
