Hosting the Olympic Games has become a huge undertaking, because of the cost of preparation and the overall financial risks involved. However, it is a wonderful opportunity for the host country, because of the chance for worldwide publicity and the prestige associated with the Games. This essay will discuss some of the problems, and also the positive aspects of being a host for the Olympics. There can be no doubt that holding the Olympics involves financial risks. It is possible to lose money because of the expense of the special buildings and facilities needed for the Games. For example, the original budget of under €5 billion for the Athens Olympics grew to €11 billion, and that was a shock for the Greek Government. In addition, most countries have a limited budget for building projects and if it is all spent on preparations for the Games, this may mean there is less for other essential projects. On the other hand, there are major benefits to be gained by hosting the Olympics. It is certainly a wonderful showcase for the host country because of the global interest and TV coverage it generates. It also ensures significant investment in facilities such as stadiums, roads, water supply and accommodation. An additional bonus is the possible profit generated by the sale of TV rights, sponsorship, ticket sales and visitor expenditure. Over the 20 years to 2000, every country hosting the Olympics either broke even or made a profit. These advantages outweigh the disadvantages of hosting the Games.
