Sochi Olympics Park
One of the most successful Winter Olympics and Paralympics
Games was held last year in Sochi, Russia. Housing the main Olympics site for
sports, it also consists of training facilities, the Olympic Village, the
international broadcasting centre, and other amenities. The park was designed
so that all of the venues would be accessible within walking distance of each
other.
Now, the park has started hosting other important sporting
events such as Ice Skating Grand Prix, World Chess Championship, Ice Hockey
events etc. Now, it is expected to hold matches of the FIFA Confederation Cup (2017),
Formula Grand Prix and FIFA World Cup(2018). “Currently, Sochi attracts 4
million tourists per year. Before the Olympics, just 1 percent came from
abroad.” (RussiaToday). The facilities which are introduced for the Games can
be used for many years by citizens of Sochi(which in turn could lead it to be
one of the most important economic centre in Russia). Businesses such as hotel,
restaurant, retail shops etc. see a massive jump in their revenues.
