The Importance of the Olympic Games

But some people claim that holding Olympic Games is not a very good idea, because the country has to invest really a great deal of money to organize the ceremonies, build stadiums, hotels and Olympic Games objects and equipment for stadiums and athletic halls.

First of all, we will be able to show our hospitality, our traditions and our culture to people from all over the world.
