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

Over recent years, it has become a topic of debate as a section of the society believes that making arrangements for international sports

events

is beneficial for the

host

country

whereas others argue that it is damaging for the

host

nation

's image. In my opinion, I believe that if planning is done in a proper way it is always advantageous for the

country

. On the one hand, with regard to conducting international games,

people

believe that it is not acceptable for several reasons.

Firstly

, they think that it might increase the crime rate. Since citizens of different nations will come with various intentions and the

host

country

's traditional and cultural values might be a barrier for them;

as a result

, cases of fights, drug abuses and robberies might be recorded.

Furthermore

, there might be some strong possibilities that the event conducting

nation

might be involved in some money laundering activities to raise funds in case of unavailability of sufficient financial resources, and South Africa is the latest example of

this

.

This

is the reason that some

people

hold the view of not facilitating games in the

nation

.

Nevertheless

,

On the other hand

, it must be acknowledged that nations who

host

sports

events

on the international level not only witness an enormous development but

also

present themselves in the international market.

This

is because to accommodate and provide facilities to foreign visitors and players,

host

county has to invest a prodigious amount of money in road construction, public transport and medical facilities, which would help the local

people

in long run.

Besides

this

, the

host

country

would have a unique image in the foreign market which would certainly improve the trade opportunities with other countries. Common Wealth Games,

for example

, were conducted in India in 2012, and

this

grand event was a great success and after that India became one of the best choices for foreign markets to invest their money in.

Therefore

, I completely advocate that hosting international

events

is certainly profitable. To conclude,

although

many

people

consider facilitating international sports

events

are detrimental to a

country

's image, I wholeheartedly believe that it is always fruitful for a

country

to be a developed and prosperous

nation

.
