The Olympic Games are a famous sporting event held every four years, and thousands

of athletes from different countries participate. Thus, leading up to the event,

there is significant preparation to be done by the host country. Although this
preparation is expensive, I believe that overall, the Olympic Games are beneficial
for the host country.

It is true that the host country of the Olympic Games must spend a large amount of
money organising the event. For example, they must have facilities for the many and
varied sporting events such as rowing, athletics and gymnastics. This often means
spending large amounts of money on construction and renovation. The Olympic Games
also draw many spectators to the host country which means money must also be spent
to provide adequate accommodation, food, and public transport for these visitors.

Nevertheless, the benefits of the Olympic Games for the host country far outweigh
these costs. The construction and renovation of sports facilities, public
transport, and the development of the hospitality industry promotes tourism in the
host country during and after the games. The long-term financial benefits of this
boost in tourism mean that the initial cost is a highly worthwhile investment. In
addition, the organisation of the event requires a large number of additional human
resources, with a variety of skills. Thus, hosting the Olympic Games creates new
jobs for local people.

In conclusion, even though there are high costs associated with the lead-up to
hosting the Olympic Games, it is still beneficial for the host country both in the
short-term and long-term as it promotes tourism and provides jobs for local people.
