Zhejiang Gongshang University's Cultural and Sports Center has been selected as the venue for handball competitions. In a sustainable move, the existing flooring was carefully removed to meet the specific requirements of the event while ensuring its potential reuse in a Hangzhou middle school.
The economical practice at the Asian Games extends beyond venue construction; it also applies to everyday necessities. Rather than making outright purchases, the Games opt to acquire essential items like coffee machines and LED screens through borrowing or rental arrangements.
It's important to note that such “frugality” does not mean any compromise on the quality of service. Instead, it represents a more efficient use of resources, ultimately enhancing the overall experience of the Asian Games.
