摘要
This study examines labor mobility into tourism employment during economic transition. Working from the proposition that the industry serves as a refuge, it discusses the inward mobility patterns from other economic sectors, assesses the impact of the change, and measures the motivations for taking up such occupations. The study found that workers came from an unusually wide range of industries, which supports the idea of upheaval in the labor market. While there is little indication it is causing widespread personal suffering, evidence for the "refuge" role of tourism was found. Employment in this industry emerges as being attractive and accessible for people with various stock of human capital. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
