It might not even need international funding through governments. With a permanently reoccurring event actual investment will come in.
Comment on Why no one wants to host the Olympics

Stop hosting them and set up a permanent Olympic village in Greece with international funding. Standardized facilities and courses.

Or just have it rotate between all the countries that already have appropriate facilities because they’ve hosted in the past. Just change the rule so you aren’t even considered if you don’t have facilities at the time of applying.

The problem is even the ones that have those facilities aren’t applying. They feel completely burned on the whole thing.

I think right now they might be discouraged by the fact that there is a rule that you can’t host again too soon after the last time you hosted. Basically the incentive currently is the exact opposite of what it should be.
