  • Indicator

  • Range

  • Influence on vulnerability
 In many regions, tourism and agriculture are strongly intertwined. Farmers that in summer work in the fields, often have a part-time job in the tourism sector during winter as a seasonal job (Shaw and Williams 1994). Therefore, the higher the percentage of jobs in the agriculture sector, the higher the possibility that it these people also depend on tourism for their subsistence and the more the region is sensitive.
