Sports events
such
as the Olympic games are often considered by most people as an essential agenda to build international networking with other countries. Diametrically opposed to
this
, some opine that
this
activity will never generate any benefit
thus
it is preferable for governments to use their national budget for other major setbacks. In my view,
however
, a type of mega-event like the Olympic play has numerous positive impacts, for the following reasons.
First
and foremost, international relations experts are concerned that maintaining a good relationship with other nations through participating in global events is highly recommended.
This
strategy is very important to be applied as every single country should collaborate with other parties in order to fulfil their needs.
For example
, Indonesia has the opportunity to welcome a multitude of athletes and spectators from other Asian countries as they had been chosen as the host of the Asian Games in 2018. During the event, Indonesia not only broadened their chance to maintain their relationship with other nations, especially from Asia but
also
used
this
golden moment to promote a myriad of Indonesian tourism destinations and attract more tourists both from domestic and international to enjoy the local tourism spots.
Therefore
, Indonesia has obtained additional economic benefits from the Asian Games that can be used to support the development of other primary sectors.
Despite setbacks, some of the general public claims that it is better for the cabinet members to spend their executive budget on several urgent issues
such
as climate change, education, or health, rather than waste their money on the secondary sector like sport.
Although
this
type of global scale agenda has the possibility to increase national branding, many essential problems need to be addressed soon.
For instance
, most countries that participated in the Tokyo Olympics
last
month spent more than one billion dollars per fortnight to support their athletes, while their own society was struggling to combat the Covid-19 outbreak during the period.
In addition
, a number of wildfires happened in the South-East Europe regions due to the surge of climate change effects.
Hence
, using the money to tackle those immediate problems is more crucial rather than concern on other non-essential aspects.
To conclude
then
, even though focusing the executive budget on national issues is recommended by many people, the execution of the Olympics business is actually
also
essential. Because it provides benefits to the country, particularly in terms of international relations and economic perspective.
Thus
, the more global agendas are planned and hosted by a nation, the greater the amount of money they will acquire to assist other essential problems in the country.
