The Olympic Games, which have contributed significantly to the promotion and marketing activities of the destinations, have for many years been an important type of event in the efforts of the countries to create an image. Also, through the Olympic Games, developing lower and upper construction activities make a positive contribution to the destinations. But the financial responsibilities imposed on host countries have revealed the need to re-evaluate the Olympic Games for the facilities to remain removed after the games and not to fully meet the expectations of the Olympic Games in recent years. This study was conducted in order to reveal the other effects of the Olympics, referring to the negative aspects rather than the positive effects of the Olympics. For this purpose, the study of the London (2012), Rio (2016) and Sochi (2014) Olympic Games examined the web pages, annual reports and related articles related to the Olympic Games using the archive scanning document analysis method. At the end of the study, it was necessary not to ignore the negative effects of the Olympic Games.
