Description

Explore the complex connection between the growing tourism industry and local labor forces in this academic study from Routledge. While most discussions about tourism focus on the interaction between guests and hosts, this book examines the subject through the actual experience of work. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in hotels across Barbados and Malta, the text provides a detailed look at how global agents and local forces meet in the workplace. It offers a deep look into the realities of the service sector, moving beyond surface-level observations to examine the practicalities of employment in a globalized economy. This study is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of work, tourism management, and international labor relations, providing a unique perspective on the small scale syndrome within the hospitality industry.
