“It is the everlasting hope of countries that host major sporting events that the games will bring about not only sporting glory but also an economic boom. Organizers inevitably claim that hosting a major event will lead to filled hotels, packed restaurants, new construction projects, and a general boost to the economy.”
When hosting a major event it makes more jobs for people, brings thousands of tourists to the country, and most of all it boosts the economy. By doing this it makes the lives of people who live in the country better; therefore, the majority of people in the country are going to be nice to tourists and give the people of that country a good image. Money is huge in many people’s lives so that is going to bring nations together, because the country is not going to fight with other nations just because of the money that they’re bringing to their country. By eliminating problems with that country it can eliminate many more.
