Often workers - particularly in the hotel and catering industry - are not being paid the minimum wage and have to work extremely long hours to make ends meet. There's also a danger of becoming over dependent on tourism, and what happens when tourists' tastes change and they move on to new destinations? But of course the argument needn't be about jobs versus the environment, because of course the construction of, and operation of, the funicular railway hasn't caused any damage has it?
