As preparations for the World Aquatics Championships Fukuoka 2023 continue, the temporary venue is being set up at Marine Messe Fukuoka (Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City). The event, scheduled to take place in Fukuoka City in July, is just three months away. Initially postponed by two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the city’s financial burden has ballooned to about four times the original estimate, but the city anticipates an economic impact exceeding 50 billion yen. Attracting foreign visitors to Fukuoka and leveraging the event for future international event recruitment are key challenges. Source: Nikkei
