What are the benefits of hosting the Olympic Games?
Organising the Summer or Winter Olympic Games enables the host region and country to achieve social, environmental and economic tangible and intangible benefits for its residents. Olympic hosting also helps the host region and country to work towards and even accelerate sustainability goals.
The benefits of hosting the Olympic Games are contextual to the host city, region and country, and are the result of Games stakeholders such as the Organising Committee, the National Olympic Committee, and local, regional and national governments, working together on a pre- and post- Games plan.
