    E Increasing tourism in the French Alps Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the 2030 Winter Games to the French Alps, but this decision is conditional on France securing financial commitments to support the event. President Emmanuel Macron assured the IOC that he would ask France's next prime minister to provide a financial guarantee for hosting the Games. Despite France being the only candidate for the 2030 Winter Olympics, the funding is uncertain due to the lack of a government following inconclusive snap elections. Macron committed to ensuring that the new prime minister would make the necessary financial commitment and also create an Olympic law. This statement highlights Macron's and the French nation's dedication to hosting the Winter Games as part of France's future. The commitment was emphasized just two days before the opening ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympics.
