We are just a month away now from the Olympic Games in rio. If youre beiooking a trip t the games, susan hogan has a breakdown on what its going to cost you. Susan . Get ready to spend a lot of money. Its the first time that the olympics are held in south america and despite the threat of the zika virus, it will be a very expensive place to visit. Making memories at the Olympic Games might be priceless but the cost of going to rio is sky high. As athletes go for the gold, its going to be costing a traveler the equivalent of several ounces of gold just to get to rio and pay all of the expenses while youre there. Reporter a senior economic analyst at bankrate. Com says the threat of zika is keeping fans and even som is not reflected on prices. They Research Hotel prices and tickets. Lets start with airfare. Its a long flight. Depends on how much comfort you want to have along the way. Were really talking about a minimum of 1,000 round trip per person. Reporter when it comes to hotels, bank rate expects them to be marked up at least 400 with the priciest hotels near olympic sports venues. When it comes to attending olympic events, the olympic packages include the game tickets and its likely an added expense. So when looking to score tickets, be careful who you buy them from. What i worry about is people getting ripped off and going through third parties or, frankly, scammers. Its especially the same as buying tickets off the street and you dont know whether those tickets are going to be legit. Theres one way to purchase authorized ticket resaler. And that authorized ticket reseller is offering tickets to the olympic and Paralympic Games as well as hotel rooms. Tickets to the games dont come cheap. The tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies can cost between 300 and 2,000, womens gymnastics final, up to 276 and womens and mens swimming, 178 and mens basketball final, as much as 600. Remember, those are single ticket prices. Its not going to be cheap to spend a week in rio trying to pay for the entire trip to attend the summer olympics. Its really going to cost a minimum of 3,000 to 4,000. Bottom line is not cheap. This is an example of a trip you might want to consider getting travel insurance for. It typically runs 5 to 7 of the cost of your trip. Thats a couple hundred extra dollars to make sure understand what is covered and what is not. Crazy, right . Just some of those individuals in thats true. Thats very true. But it is a once in a lifetime kind of trip if you can do it. Boy, im telling you. You might want to save up for it. Yeah. Thank you.
