some people think that international sporting events are the ideal opportunity to show the world of the qualities of the hosting nation. Other believe that these events are mainly a large unjustifiable expense.Discuss both views and give your own opinion .

In the era of globalization, some countries like to hold international competitions to get attention and show their national economic strength and soft power, but some people say it is completely inconsistent with the benefits. on the one benefits of hosting sports event is a way to show the image of a city to the world. For example, hosting a major international sporting event that can grasp the world’s media attention, and the host country and city will also be the focus of attention, which will increase the image and popularity. Another benefit of it can attract a large number of tourists, promote the prosperity of the tourism industry and create more job opportunities, Moreover, it can spread the host country’s own culture which can let more people know about the cultural characteristics. However, there are also disadvantages of hosting sports event. One disadvantage is that the events are funded by the public sector who raise money from taxpayers. For example, huge sums of fund have been spent on stadiums, Olympic villages and infrastructure related to events, but the utilization rate of venues and facilities built for the event is low after the event, resulting in a waste of resources. Another disadvantage is the imbalance of regional development, with the host city having more resources than other places and it widen the wealth gap between regions. In my opinion, sporting events can benefit greatly from economically administered correctly and the possibility of recycling planning other applications of venues and facilities built.
