There might well be a lack of decent, secure well paid employment... but the tourism "industry" certainly doesn't provide that either.Would there be any other jobs in these seaside towns though? I don’t live in those areas so what other employment is there?
Its overall contribution and importance to any employment levels is always overstated and exaggerated by that vested interest lobby group that are the tourism business owners and, as I said, any jobs it does provide are nothing but exploitative, poorly paid temporary positions providing little more than pocket money mostly to kids.
