When countries begin to provide facilities for mass
tourism, such as hotels and leisure complexes, there
is an immediate demand for labour. Work is created for
cleaners, waiters, gardeners and drivers on a scale which
may significantly boost the local economy. Such work
may provide opportunities to learn valuable new skills.
For many, these semi-skilled jobs provide an attractive
alternative to subsistence agriculture or fishing, while
at the same time the tax revenues from their earnings
increase the national income.
