• B. Increased tourism during event
• C. Commercial benefits from sponsors during event
• D. New facilities generating money from memberships after event

Answer: (D)

Understanding long-term economic benefits from hosting a major event. The best answer rests on how money keeps coming in after the event ends. New facilities that stay in use can generate ongoing income through memberships, rentals, or regular services, creating a lasting financial boost for the local economy. Once the venue is built, people join clubs, use the space for regular activities, or pay to access it for conferences and events, providing a steady stream of revenue well beyond the event itself.

The other possibilities are tied to the event period. Jobs created during the event and increased tourism during the event bring benefits, but those boosts are temporary and fade once the event is over. Sponsor money tends to flow during the event as well, not as a continuing post-event income source. Thus, ongoing facility-based revenue from memberships represents the strongest long-term economic impact.
