Some people think that the Olympics is no longer important in the 21st century. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

These days, it is often argued that the Olympics

is

Suggestion

are

no longer relevant in the present era. Despite having its origin in unpopular ancient's believes, I disagree with

this

notion because

this

sporting event helps to promote

tourism

and

world

peace.

Firstly

, the Olympics supports

tourism

as it brings people from various parts of the

world

together for the sporting event. Both the host cities and visitors benefit tremendously as

such

cities experience massive infrastructural development to attract tourists and the tourists are offered the opportunity to visit sites previously unknown to them.

For instance

, the Sydney Olympics in 2000 enlightened people about the beautiful city of

sydney

the largest Australian city located in southeastern Australia on the Tasman Sea; state capital of New South Wales; Australia's chief port

Sydney

and Australia.

As a result

, Australia experienced a surge in

tourism

. If there were no Olympics in 2000, Sydney may not have been in the spotlight of the

world

.

Furthermore

, the Olympics promote peace around the

world

. During the bidding for the event, various governments seek for support from participating countries in order to win the bid.

Hence

good diplomatic relationship

the good diplomatic relationship

is needed. More so, nations leave behind their political differences during the events while campaigns against discrimination

such

as those against racism are promoted.

As a result

, the Olympics

has enable

have enabled

people to interact with each other's despite differing political ideologies. In conclusion, the Olympics is still important today as it ensure worldwide people and aid

tourism

. Increased public awareness about it should be encouraged.
