It’s worth the trip if you ever go back to the area or Sarajevo.

Actually, the evidence that hosting the Olympics increases tourism revenue isn’t strong at all:

Though I like the idea of hosting in multiple cities. I would say select cities keeping in mind to use as much existing infrastructure as possible. That’s what the Los Angeles games did and was considered a big success. Though there are many that believe the Olympics committee prefers places that need lots of development in the interest of their own pockets.

Don’t forget how much income the Olympics brings in (tourism to the country).. I myself like the idea of them being in different places, I know there’s a lot of waste, but sometimes you have to sit back and appreciate the games as what they were once created for and forget the politics for 5 minutes 🙂

There a several places in Sarajevo that really bring the war to your mind’s eye but this one had a strange irony because it was so bright but sad at the same time.
