Many people want their country to host an international sporting event. Others believe that international sporting events bring more problems than benefits. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
A lot of citizens want their home nation to host an international sports competition due to its benefits
such
as job creations and international tourism
. However
, others believe that it brings many issues like economic slowdown and local people's problems. This
essay will discuss both sides of the arguments.
There are some arguments against hosting a multi-nation sports event. To begin
with, big tournaments have negative impacts on the hosting country
. A country
needs to spend millions of dollars in building stadiums and hotels where players perform and if the competition is not hosted properly that's bringing an economic slowdown. To exemplify, India hosted commonwealth games in 2010, which brings economic slowdown. Secondly
, many local people face issues such
as traffic diversion and other restrictions, which causes problems for them. They have to suffer a lot from new traffic rules and restrictions, which is a drawback for them.
On the flip side, there are many arguments which favour the hosting nation and I agree with these sets of arguments. Firstly
, it brings employment. As country
has to build many stadiums and hotels, they would need labour, contractor, engineers and many more fulfil the requirement, which create jobs for people. Needless to say, people will earn, which directly benefited the host Suggestion
the country
country
. Secondly
, many people will be travelling to support their national team in various matches, which increases tourism
in the home country
. Mega sports events of popular sports such
as cricket or football attract people to visit the organizing country
and it increases tourism
. To explain with an example, India has hosted the IPL for the last
12 years, which is a cricket T20 tournament and many foreign players participate in this
and many foreigners come to see their favourite player.
To conclude, there are some issues which can occur during hosting a big tournament but I believe that there are many benefits such
as employment and tourism
, which comes along with it, which is very important.Submitted by rtyui on
