| || Fair tourism > Street hawkers |
Tourism does not benefit everyone to the same degree. If a street hawker approaches you at the beach, bear in mind that he or she only tries to earn a living from tourism, too.
- The informal economy is a labour-intensive sector, that requires few qualifications, is easy to enter and uses local resources.
- Locals who don't have formal jobs in tourism might try to make a living by selling self-made jewellery or food.
- Be respectful towards street hawkers at the beach. They only try to earn a living for themselves and their families. Don't react in an annoyed manner if their approach might seem obtrusive initially.
