3.Translation
 
In addition to the money that tourism brings into a country, tourism
provides a great many jobs, especially for unskilled or semiskilled
workers. Many jobs, in hotels and restaurants, especially are semiskilled
so that very little training is needed for them. In a large hotel,
for instance, there may be as many as two or three employees for
every guest room. This intensive use of labor is one of the reasons
why tourism is so attractive
to developing countries. |
