Being the world’s biggest industry in the twentieth century, tourism has both advantages
and disadvantages.

With more tourists, more people are needed to build the accommodation, work in the
tourist industry, sell farm produce to the hotels, and build new roads, car-parks, hotels,
cable railways and restaurants, plus other infrastructure, which all provide employment
both during construction, and in their subsequent operation.
