I've lived in a few places where tourism either was or is a significant industry.

Tourism is such a shitty industry more or less anywhere in the world to greater or lesser degrees. It's got all the low pay servitude of the regular service industry with the job insecurity dial whacked right up cos the work is seasonal and the added fun of gentrification and the hell that brings cos rich tourists decide to buy a second home there. Chuck in the fact that popularity of tourist hot spots tends to rise massively and plummet dramatically - sometimes in the same decade - and it's a complete disaster for anyone living there. Hawaii seems to be even worse cos you are also contributing to driving out a native culture on top of it. I've lived as I said in tourist hotspots where people who have lived there all their lives are in desparate poverty and can only imagine how much worse it'd be if that was your entire culture being erased on top of that.
