Asian Games 2026: Sports, Consultants & Mega Events

Public-Private Partnerships Are Part of the Story

The Mizuho Park project also demonstrates how PPP (Public-Private Partnership) and PFI (Private Finance Initiative) can be incorporated into large public infrastructure projects.

A PPP (Public-Private Partnership) is a model in which public authorities and private-sector organizations collaborate on infrastructure or public services.

A PFI (Private Finance Initiative) is an approach that can involve private-sector expertise in the financing, development and operation of public facilities.

In the Mizuho Park project, the planning extended beyond rebuilding a stadium. PACIFIC CONSULTANTS supported consideration of the wider park, including its facilities, environment, transportation and future use.

This broader approach is relevant to consulting because major infrastructure projects increasingly require expertise across multiple disciplines rather than focusing on construction alone.

Hospitality Is Another Large-Scale Operation

Infrastructure is only one part of running an international sporting event.

Thousands of athletes and officials also require accommodation, food and other daily services.

Global Hospitality Group was appointed as an official supplier for the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Games.

The company is supporting the operation of dining halls serving athletes at the mobile accommodation facilities.

The scale of the operation is substantial. According to reporting from The Indian Express, Global Hospitality Group founder and President Peter Wright is leading a team involving around 80 chefs from 25 countries and about 200 additional staff.

The operation prepares hundreds of menu items to serve athletes from different cultural, religious and nutritional backgrounds.

Peter Wright, President, Global Hospitality Group, said:

“Providing nourishing meals and a welcoming environment is a vital part of supporting athletes to perform at their best.”

This is another example of the professional ecosystem behind the Games. Large-scale hospitality requires menu planning, procurement, food safety, staffing, quality control and supply-chain coordination.
