Perché nessun paese è mai stato ricco dal turismo. Né sarà ricco

**Οι Μαλδίβες.**

Αύξηση κατα κεφαλή ΑΕΠ 600% σε 20 χρόνια (αν αφαιρέσει κανείς τα 3 χρόνια λόγω Covid).

Σίγουρα όχι παράδειγμα προς απομίμηση και σίγουρα δεν “πλούτισαν”.

Αλλά να πας από 2000 σε 12000 δολλάρια σε 20 χρόνια δεν είναι καθόλου κακό για το μέσο κάτοικο.

Αξίζει ολόκληρο το άρθρο

Η ουσια ειναι εδω:

> the ceiling of labor productivity in tourism is laughably low. A single asset management firm can manage trillions of dollars in capital. A single oilfield can produce trillions of dollars in petroleum. A single factory can manufacture trillions of dollars worth of complex technological goods. But what can a single hotel, bar, or restaurant do? A water park? In tourism, productivity is effectively the same as it was in the time of the Pharaohs. Cooking meals, serving drinks, making beds, and cleaning toilets is labor-intensive and has proven deeply resistant to productivity gains from automation and new technology. This is undoubtedly partially because part of the very appeal of tourism is to be temporarily pampered by servants.

Μια χωρα οπως η ελλαδα θα τρεχει μονιμως αγχωμενη να καθαριζει τουαλέτες ενω ο υπόλοιπος κόσμος γινεται όλο και πιο παραγωγικος. Αυτο γινεται ακομα χειρότερο λογω του δημογραφικου.

Οποτε “βαρια βιομηχανια” δεν ειναι ποτέ ο τουρισμος

> As these problems worsen, tourism becomes more appealing to business leaders, politicians, and policy-makers: although workers can emigrate, property cannot, and low-wage labor can easily be imported from abroad to service tourists from wealthier countries. Tourism can become the success story of the new economy, providing a hopeful, winning narrative to a voter base increasingly composed of aging landlords. But it is really just a way to temporarily ameliorate the financial stress caused by deeper economic and cultural problems that remain unsolved.
