This paper analyses firstly the tourist employment statistics published by the Directorate General for Enterprise (D.G.E) of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance. Such statistics are based upon a category named “typical activities” that isolates certain sectors of the economy, which in reality provide services consumed by local inhabitants, for instance restaurants and cafés. Furthermore, such a measurement is not stable over time. Secondly, we propose here a contribution to a much more precise approach based upon the tourist practices and a typology of tourist places and spaces. |
