In the modern world, hosting an international sporting event has become increasingly significant to global sports and the host country itself. Although I admit that it is beneficial to the nation to a certain extent, I hold a firm belief that its drawbacks overshadow its merits.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that this event brings benefits to the nation. Firstly, organizing an international sports event is a way to boost the national reputation. The country can spread its image, allowing the host nation to showcase its traditions and identity to global audiences. Another merit is that it stimulates economic growth. These sports events can attract viewers who track competition to visit their country, resulting in a sharp rise in tourism revenue as well as opportunities to pose job inservices, hotels, transportation, and other services, bring the country into the global spotlight. For example, when the WonCup was organized in Chia ends, 60% come to the tourism fields ,which is higher compared to other fields. This showed that sport event play an integral role in economic growth.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages to consider. First and foremost, a sports event can bring a financial burden to the host nation. In statistics, the financial cost overrun initiate burden. This means that the finances of the host country can even be in debt, triggering an increase taxyers to support this concern. Besides, mass tourism and construction activities can lead to environmental damage and impact on their living conditions. Dwellers who live in the host country can be impacted by air pollution, traffic congestion, and disruption to local communities. Furthermore, nowadays, the rate of crime is rising dramatically during this event, due to chaos and disorders so the security cannot make sure for individuals. For instance, a report of UK showed that there are several cases of crime about pickpocketing, addiction, and robbery, that occur during a sports event in Paris . So, the potential risk of events beyond imagination.
In conclusion, while hosting an international sport event does have some benefits, it seems to me that the drawbacks such as financial burden, environment demolish and risk of crime rise also overshadow the merits.
