Tourism benefits only the wealthy and workers from overseas and out of state, not the average Cape Codder. It creates minimum wage jobs and puts an unreasonable burden on our infrastructure and environment. It’s also indirectly responsible for housing shortages, since in some communities, as many as half of housing units are occupied only part of the year. Community leaders would do well to a) figure out the net benefits of tourism, if any and b) develop alternative sources of revenue. The reason this won’t happen in my view is that the Chambers of Commerce are run by wealthy hotel and restaurant owners and their sycophantic minions.
