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.

In recent decades, global sporting competitions have become increasingly common. While one school of thought holds that the organized countries might have to deal with several disadvantages, others argue that it is beneficial for these countries. This essay will closely scrutinize both views before concluding that I am in favor of the latter view.

It is understandable why some might host an international sports event is problematic for the country. The key rationale is financial burdens on the host country. Because world-class events demand a complicated preparation process. The organized countries need to construct and upgrade a vast array of infrastructures and facilities, which may put pressure on the public budget or cause public debt. In addition, most of those facilities are only for temporary purposes and normally are disused after the programs end, so the host countries may pay a large budget for facility maintenance after the events conclude.

On the other hand, international sports events are ideal occasions for hosting countries to raise their profile and have numerous economic benefits. It is a fact that international events are likely to attract global attention to the organized nations. This is a prospect for these countries to represent and promote their cultures and traditions, which may lead to the countries becoming well-known tourist attractions among international visitors and attract a massive influx of tourists even long after the competitions end. In other words, enhancing the country's dignity can lead to lasting economic benefits.

In conclusion, admittedly, hosting world-class sporting events brings some disadvantages to the host country. Nevertheless, I believe that these events bring a lot of benefits to organized countries from tourism to economy.
