It is often argued that it is advantageous for the nation that hosts a multinational sports

event

, while others believed that the

host

country

has a negative impact. In my opinion, I believe that

although

the

host

country

has some bad effects, overall the

event

benefits the

country

in which they

host

the

event

. The

host

nation has a generally positive impact on organizing an international sports

event

. One key benefit is that the

event

help to promote tourism in the

host

nation.

This

can create more jobs for local people and

also

increase their income.

For example

, the Sea Game held in

Vietnam

in 2003 was not only attract millions of tourists visiting

Vietnam

but

also

a chance for

Vietnam

to promote its image as an attractive destination for tourists all over the world.

As a result

, the number of international guests coming to

Vietnam

has been increasing steadily since 2003,

thus

creating a lot of jobs for local people.

However

, there are

also

negative impacts that must be considered. One important issue is that local authorities must spend a big amount of expense to maintain the infrastructures which are built to serve the

event

even when the facilities are not used.

This

can lead to the waste of the budget of the

country

.

For instance

, the Russian government spent millions of dollars to keep the subway that connects the airport to the centre of Sochi city which was constructed to serve the winter Olympics. In conclusion, while hosting an international

event

cause some negative effect, it can bring to the

host

country

much more benefits to the economy. In my opinion, despite the bad impact, I believe holding a multinational sports

event

is generally beneficial
