I was reading that with the Athens games many of the facilities they built have still never been used again and the 15 billion they spent putting the games was never earned back.

A lot of sports events is organized with excuse "oh a lot of people around will hear for us,it's good for tourism".Why the fuck i would want to go to some place because they organized some sport event for few days?I think best way for marketing tourism is good work,anything else is more less waste of money.After all if i decide to go somewhere i always read reviews of people who experienced what i showed interest to see it.
