Italian Cruise Ship to House Thousands of Athletes at Nagoya Asian Games Amid Accommodation Concerns
The Italian cruise ship Costa Serena arrived in Nagoya to house about 4,000 to 5,000 athletes and officials for the 16-day Asian Games starting October 1. With no dedicated athletes' village, organizers are using the ship, hotels, and temporary container-style huts to accommodate over 11,000 participants from 45 countries competing in 43 sports. While the arrangement addresses accommodation shortages and cost concerns, several delegations, including South Korea and Taiwan, have criticized the temporary housing for inadequate facilities and space.
