Drawbacks of hosting a
Major sporting event
- Hosting the Major
sporting event
- If things go wrong with the
planning and organisation then
the whole world could be left
crticising and making fun of the
event.
- it can increase the risk of terrorist attacks, so
huge amounts of money and massive security
operations need to be put in place to
guarantee safety.
- Divisions
- This is where 2 different cities
want to host the event in the same
country
- For example for the 2012 olympics
the 2 cities in the uk who were
wanting to host the olympics were
London and Manchester
- Major event of
one sport
- For example if one sport has a major
event like wimbledon for tennis, this
means that tennis will have a increase
in participation because it is televised.
- This meant that Badminton and table
tennis that are similar to tennis get a
decrease in participation because it is
less shown on tv.
- Sports facilities
- The stadium or event could no
longer be used and is left to rot
because no one is using the
facilities.
- Cost of event
- Organising the comittees need to find the funds
to cover the preparation before any money
starts to be recouped.
- Sometimes the money that is made from
hosting the event does not cover the costs
of hosting it in the first place, leaving the
country/town in debt because of it.
- Bidding to
host
- it is very expensive to bid a major
event because you may not get
awarded to host the event.
- For example, they might have
to bid for the next olympics
