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

Nowadays, the

sports

industry is currently playing an important role in tourism and economics. It is,

therefore

, discussed by some that being a

host

country

of global

sports

competitions may be beneficial

while

others may think it could cause negative drawbacks.

This

essay will examine the advantages and disadvantages of arranging major

sports

events and explain why I feel that the government of a particular

country

should as well be concerned about the socioeconomic

to the locals as they have to prepare adequate services for foreigners. If there were more income and more jobs, the economic

will be improved, possibly leading to a better quality of life for dwellers in the

country

. Despite the economic growth, others are aware of unexpected situations that would

conversely

make arranging

sports

events a catastrophe. The Tokyo Olympics,

for instance

, have been a controversial issue because the government invested a large sum of money in the construction of infrastructure and gigantic

sports

arenas. Unfortunately, the COVID outbreak made the

situation

worse as international flights were halted for two years.

This

in turn worsened Japan's existing economic crisis because there were neither profits nor tourists coming to the

country

.

This

means that if the

host

country

were not in a stable

situation

, they would encounter many difficulties that would decrease the quality of life of the locals. In conclusion,

although

international

sports

events may bring opportunities, I think the government should be more concerned about whether the socioeconomy of their countries is in a position

that is

stable enough and should thoroughly consider their resources before deciding to

host

the competitions in order to prevent any

further

unexpected loss.
