Example/Impact

One possible benefit to a country that hosts a major sporting event is an increase in tourism.

Increased direct tourism is when more people come to the host city to watch and take part in the major sporting event.

Tourism can bring a lot of economic benefits to a country such as increased jobs and money being spent in the country.

An example of this is in London 2012 when people were employed to work on drink stands to serve drinks to tourists.

Example/Impact

One possible drawback to a country that hosts a major sporting event is increased litter and pollution.

This is because there is a large gathering of people in one area and they will produce more litter.

This can have a negative impact as if there is a lot of litter on the streets of a city then people might think that city is dirty.
