Some people think that hosting an international sports event is good for a country, while some think it is bad. Discuss both views and state your opinion

It is often argued that organizing a sporting event of international reputation is not good for a

country

. While many people believe it is bad, I think hosting

such

events

always work in the favour of a nation.

This

essay would discuss both these views and provide an effective conclusion. On the one hand, an international event or sport brings income for a

such

events

are massive. More and more tourists would visit the

country

to watch these games, which would add additional income to the GDP of a nation, as well as the word of mouth about the

country

For example

, an article published in the Daily Mirror, a national daily in India, showed after the completion of the Indian Premier League in the UAE, the businesses flourished in Dubai in spite of the covid-19 pandemic.

, Qatar, the oil giant, organizing the 2023 Olympics, built most of the playgrounds in the desert far from the capital, Doha, and

reducing the pollution and the harm on the environment. To conclude, International sports competition damages the environment considerably,

however

, the problem can be solved with proactive steps. I believe

such

events

are always good for a state to rise in fame, raise money, and flourishing business
