Resumen de Regional Tourism, the Labour Market and Education
The tourist industry differs from other service industries, because it cannot be delimited in terms of supply, but must instead be defined in terms of demand. This is because tourists demand many different goods and services, such as accommodation, transport, food, cultural services etc. Tourism also influences the labour market. But economic impact analysis does not reveal who works in the tourist industry. Is it young or old people, men or women, highly educated or less well-educated people? At the regional level tourism labour market may also varíes because of a different tourism structure. This paper presents the methods for analysing the regional tourism labour market, the data and some preliminary results using the variable education at the regional level for Denmark in 1996.
