Let the countdown begin.<\/p>\n
We are now one year away from the start of the 2024 Olympics<\/a> in Paris<\/a>. Kicking off with the Olympic opening ceremony on July 26, 2024, the Olympic Games will run through Aug. 11, 2024.<\/p>\n For both athletes and fans, the event figures to be a refreshing change of pace after the coronavirus pandemic hampered travel to the previous Summer and Winter Games.<\/p>\n The millions of fans expected to visit France next summer should see quite the spectacle, too: an opening ceremony on the Seine, beach volleyball in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower and tennis played on the iconic clay courts at Roland-Garros (home of the French Open).<\/p>\n As of the end of June, the Paris Olympics organizing committee reported it sold some 6.8 million tickets out of 10 million available \u2014 or around 70% of its ticket supply. What’s more, the tickets have so far been sold to customers from 178 countries, according to the committee.<\/p>\n “The success of the ticket sale was better than we ever could have imagined,” Tony Estanguet, organizing committee president for the Paris Olympics, said in a recent statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n The good news: There are still tickets available. Plus, booking windows are only now beginning to open for most airlines and hotels.<\/p>\n Here’s what to know if you’re planning (or at least hoping) to make the trip to Paris next summer.<\/p>\nWhen do flights and award bookings open for the Paris Olympics?<\/h2>\n
