There are some people who have the opinions the unnecessary of the cultural introduction on the opening ceremony. Because they say it is not related to the sports competition.
However, the Olympic games protocol requires a performance that introduces the culture of the host country. It is the very important work to introduce the cultures of the host country. It is an opportunity to inform their tourism promotion after the Olympic Games.
According to the Olympic Charter, the Olympic Games is as follows, and it is said that sports are integrated with culture and education to explore the creation of a way of life.
Olympism is a philosophy of way of life that improves all the qualities of the body, will, and spirit, and binds them in a well-balanced way of life. Olympism blends sports with culture and education to explore the creation of a way of life. Its way of life is based on the joy of effort, the educational value of being a good example, social responsibility, and respect for universal and fundamental ethical norms.
