One inevitable feature of tourism’s growth is the creation
of badly-paid, seasonal jobs in holiday resorts. Much of

social tensions in these areas. Another risk is that natural
or human disasters such as wars and earthquakes may
drive visitors away without warning, leaving tens of
thousands unemployed
