Olympics

Where will you travel to see The Olympics: Paris or Los Angeles?

Every four years, the world gets together to see The Summer Olympics. Participants and spectators travel to the city that hosts the event to compete and cheer on their country’s team. The Olympics have become more than just the event’s destination; it is a way to travel to other lands in the spirit of competition. During these events, patriotism and sportsmanship go hand-in-hand with travel and tourism.

Every four years a new city hosts the event. These host cities are determined well in advance by the International Olympic Committee. But the 2024 and 2028 Olympics are still in question as to where they will be held. Both Paris and Los Angeles have been chosen for one of these two years, and the two cities have been asked to decide amongst themselves to determine which city will host which year. The International Olympic Committee will then ratify the decision.

It is anyone’s guess which city will host which year, but according to TravelMarketReport.com, insiders predict that Paris will get to host the Olympics first, in 2024. Many believe this will help tourism in Paris, who is dealing with a slumping industry in light of terrorist issues in recent months.

Once the International Olympic Committee has decided which city will host first, it is important to book travels plans quickly. Both cities state that they currently have about 90% of the travel facilities needed to host the event, according to TravelMarketReport.com, but those facilities will fill up soon after the announcement of the dates.
