Euro 2024 boosts sports tourism boom in Asia, raises gambling concerns

Everyone is very excited about the European Cup. Germany's tourism industry has seen a 132% increase in bookings from China alone. This is obviously due to the global popularity of football.

Believe it or not, illegal betting is going to get agitated again, and the police seem to be setting up a task force to stop it, as more than $1.8 billion is expected to be bet on this event. Just think about how crazy it is! While fans are flocking to Europe to experience the football culture, the police are having a headache and are discussing the possible negative effects of this booming industry.
