Cons
-The tourism industry is a lifestyle, and it’s definitely not for everyone. -Very demanding hours during the high season. -The wages may not be what they would be in other industries; people do not work in the tourism industry for the money. Again, it’s a lifestyle, and it’s demanding but rewarding.
