"I don't have the foggiest idea whether we can haggle with Olympic authorities about remuneration or not."

An authority with the Tokyo sorting out board of trustees said the issue encompassing lodging reservations was "getting looked at"."Like every other person, it is a difficulty. We will battle for some time," said Greg Harney, a specialist for Cartan Global, an American organization selling bundles for the Games."I've known about not many individuals having requested a discount, presumably a couple, it's empowering."At the point when the emergency is finished, I incline that individuals will need to travel much more than previously.
