1) It appeals to local audiences (they leave...they return... ooh I wish I could do all that...)
Hmmm...don't agree on this. So they wouldn't think "ooh i wish i could do that" if the race finished in Singapore or New Zealand?
2) It creates an atmosphere of closure and completion.
Perhaps but how critical is this?
3) By putting the last leg on "home turf", it makes it easier to a) organise and b) avoid the possibility of cultural/language issues screwing up an exciting/tight finish.
Definitely disagree with this. One of the best things about TAR is the challenge teams have with different cultures and languages. I actually find the final stage a bit of a letdown for that very reason.
