When you tout a benefit, it should be pretty easy to back up no? Isn't that why it's a benefit? So when you say "tourism increases", and there's literally nothing to back it up, why are you touting that as a benefit? The argument that is measurable is that "there will be an increase in visitors during the Olympics", and obviously I can't say #### about that can I? But supporters here seem to think there's a real, tangible increase in tourism due to hosting the Olympics....which they can never back up.
