This document summarizes and analyzes two empirical studies and two trade articles about tourism and the labor market. The empirical studies examine how work in the tourism industry is gendered and the influence of a global city (London) on its labor market. The trade articles discuss how tourism has influenced the woodcarving trade in Cape Town and challenges/opportunities for marketing Germany's cultural heritage tourism. The analysis finds that while tourism benefits economies, workers can face unfavorable conditions like low pay. Successful tourism requires integrating cultural and non-cultural offerings and cooperation between institutions.
