People like to work and make services against money. Everybody can begin, with no money as travelguide, with some money guest room or restaurant or to open a souvenir shop. Many jobs are created by the hotel industry. We find a good model would be a cooperative, that people work together and help each other. With the initiative Voyage.help I try myself to get customers as to guest advisor in Switzerland.
Social Impact
Tourism brings people together. We have still where long time ago nomads and had to explore new places. We can meet us in peace, we see that nearly everybody is inspired by love, freedom and justice. Nobody wants that people live in bad conditions. We learn a lot about other mentalities and culture. Tourism is for me the way for peace and I run an initiative to promote this idea for the tourism industry.

Development
Tourism leads to a better infrastructure for transport, living and other offers, like more restaurants and hotels. There are more cultural events and the history is preserved. Often tourism is focussed to the capitals and main sightseeing points. So it should be our goal to bring more tourists to the region. I live in Baden, the main tourism is in Zurich.
Together with the cooperative T, I have a lot of initiatives. I publish many websites about regions and topics. Also I discuss about Fairtrade.
Thanks for a discussion about tourism.
