Arranging an international sports event is a matter of pride for the
host
country
, while some argue that it has a negative impact on the
country
which is hosting it.
However
, In my view, it has a more positive impact compared to negative influences.
Firstly
,the
host
country
gets a chance to show its hospitality and culture to the world because these kinds of events are broadcast on television and are enjoyed by millions of people all over the world who will
also
judge the arrangements of the
host
country
.
Secondly
,If the international players who are visiting a
country
to participate in games and audience from other countries who are watching these sports on television are get impressed by the culture of that
country
then
there is the probability they will come to
this
country
again in future for tourism that enhances the international tourism and contributes to the nation's economy.To illustrate, the
last
Olympic games were hosted by Japan in Tokyo and I was so impressed by the presentation of that
country
that I am planning a tour to Japan soon.
On the other hand
, hosting international sports events sometimes proves very costly for the
country
because it includes a lot of things like arranging food and accommodation for the international players and their staff members for a couple of months. Arranging transport for their commuting purposes from the hotel to the competition venue.
Furthermore
, it is the responsibility of the
host
country
to provide security and medical services to the international players. For an instance, in the previous year during the pandemic , the cricket team of New Zealand refused to go to Pakistan and playtest series with the Pakistan cricket team because they believed they would not be able to protect them from the pandemic and were unable to provide proper medical facilities.
This
was a matter of shame for Pakistan. In conclusion, everything has some positive and some negative impacts,
however
, positive influences are more significant than the negative ones which could be managed.
