Hosting the Olympics is a very important issue to the city and country that hosts it. Hosting the games is a huge responsibility for the city because of many things. For example, it’s a huge risk because the country invests a lot of money in the games but they don’t know if many people are going to come, so they are risking funds without a back-up plan if people don’t come to the games. It will also affect the population of the city for about a month or two because if lots of people go, the city would be very crowded which creates lots of traffic and disrupts the daily life of the citizens. For that and more reasons hosting the Olympics has a great reason to think about if the risks are worth it.
Everything has to be almost perfect for the country to host the Olympics. The street has to be in good shape and clean. The stadiums have to be neat. The hotels have to have enough reservations for all the people that are coming… But this is not that easy to accomplish. The money from the tourists that is coming is not enough to support all the money wasted in this features. In the economic part of the problem, the country invests a lot of money in keeping the city clean and well presented during the games. Also if any problem occurs, the country has to waste more money trying to fix it. The people that live there are also affected since the prices at stores go up. Besides the money, the city gets polluted and traffic increases. This is terrible for the citizens since some of them lose their job by getting late all the days that the tourists come to see the Olympics. In the security part, the policeman and army has to be prepared since any there can be any hooligan or terrorist attack during the games. Is not easy at all to host the Olympics.
Hosting the Olympics is not always profitable for the cities. They often lose more money that what they gain. They lose a lot of money on building athletic facilities, compaining for the games, providing security and constructing new transportation networks. To get this amount of money they put more taxes, hurting the people and the city. Also the Olympics are more about nationalistic one-upsmanship between the largest and richest countries in the world than about global unity. That´s why sometimes it can produce fights between the powerful cities.
We can conclude that hosting the Olympics can produce major disasters and most often it doesn’t give anything positive for the city that is hosting it. So if you think that it would be really good that your country hosts the Olympics think it well.
