Best Answer

Cities may want to host the Olympics for several reasons. Of course, there is the prestige in holding such an important event. Cities generate a lot of revenue from visitors during the games, as well as from sponsors. Being in the global spotlight is also great publicity for future visitors! Athens (and Greece in general) and Barcelona saw major boosts to their tourist industries after their turns hosting the games, while Atlanta saw a boost in international business. Preparation for the Olympics also provides strong motivation for cities to make improvments to last after the games are over. For example, the Chinese made strong efforts in reducing pollution in Beijing, while the infrastructure in Athens was given some major upgrades.
