You did raise some interesting points
1) Tourism
2) Internationalism
3) Building infrastructure
4) Society change (to please public)
5) More businesses (more competition, lower prices)
6) expansion of region
the list is endless.

For a minute I agree with you but did the Asian Games bring all the pre-Games promises and the much hyped benefits. You and I know that all those promises failed to materialise so durint the Olympics toursits and the fans will be coming to Qatar but seriously the question is will they keep on coming after the games to look at the deserted stadiums

Talking about stadiums you should go to Greece and see the condition of the stadiums there. Remeber that Greece has much larger population than Qatar and Football is big business in Europe. You cannot compare the revenues generated by football in europe and in the middle east.

Qatar is not even ready to grant the people living in Qatar some basic human rights so how do the human rights restrictions look in the INTERNATIONAL MARKET

And what does Qatar has to show the tourists? a closed museum, City centre, sand dunes, and some forgotten beaches. Dude Qatar does not even has a map. You cannot even find a house without asking people for directions. The houses dont even have numbers.

I still remember the leaking stadium during the Asian Games and the newly built road that got swept away. Dude people made a lot of money everyone, expatriates and Qataris as well from the Asian Games. I thought by now the blindfold would have been taken off from the Govt's eyes but looks as if some never learn
Anyways I support qatar's 2016 bid as my business will progress by leaps and bounds.
What did Qatar achieve from the Asian Games?????? This is the question that we should be asking ourselves before we emabark on olympic spending spree
