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.

Being responsible for an international

sports

event

organization is partly believed to bring considerable benefits to the

host

country whereas others have the opposite point of view.

This

essay will discuss both views and state personal opinion. Hosting

this

type of international

event

have positive effects on national images. One of the most enormous desires of the organizers is leaving a good impression for worldwide tourists. In fact, gigantic

sports

events

such

as World Cup, Olympics and Seagames is considered an appropriate time for prospective investors to see the

host

's potential. By doing

this

, the opportunities for future cooperation and investment will increase noticeably, leading to the whole nation's development. Another advantage is the increase in tourism income for locals due to the demand for accommodation and food supply of international

sports

lovers in the

events

which can attract millions of people. Despite the fact that

this

is just a short-term benefit, the positive impact on the economy should be appreciated.

but not least,

, in the Olympics Seoul 1988 in Korea, authorities forced city dwellers, especially the ones living close to the

events

' hosting location, to stop consuming domestic pet

such

as dogs and cats for daily food in order not to cause tourists' aversion.

As a result

, after the Olympics in 1988, Korean's eating pets generally discarded.

On the contrary

, hosting an international

sports

event

can

also

have detrimental effects. Building novel stadiums and other facilities, traffic congestion due to the increase of temporary populations and demanding transportation, littering caused by a number of tourists all deteriorate the environment.

Furthermore

, aggressive

sports

hooligans can be manipulated by some individuals or organizations in order to commit politic crimes, which can lead to considerable damage to the

events

and the

host

country's image. Personally, I suppose the benefits outweigh the drawbacks eventually. All of the negative repercussion can be efficiently dealt with if the government and local residents come up with effective measures after full discussion. The advantages should be considered a prospective opportunity for national development. In conclusion, the international

sports

event

organization can result in numerous positive effects on the

host

country, including the appropriate chance to enhance the national image, attract investment, develop tourism and discard unsuitable inner factors.

Although

there have been a number of environmental disadvantages and the threat of social order breaking, which can be solved by the government's added regulations, countries should seize the opportunity of hosting a
