2.1 The Dominican Republic is the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean with the largest all-inclusive resort industry in the world with 50,000 rooms. Although it had the highest economic growth in the Americas from 1996-2000, 90 percent of its 8 million residents live below the poverty line.Of the money that we pay for our average all-inclusive holiday, 89 percent stays in the UK with the operator, the air carrier, insurance cover, commissions and the travel agency. Of the remaining 11 percent, the hotel gets just 3%. You can imagine how much is left in for the staff in the hotels….Anna works as a chambermaid at a major 4* hotel that the big UK operators use. She works a 9-hour day and cleans 21 large rooms. She is widowed with 2 children. When she takes her holidays, she doesn't get paid for them or for the lengthy overtime that she has to work. She would like a union to give her security, but the hotel won't allow workers to set one up.Anna lives in a pleasant 4-roomed flat with her children and several other relatives, in order to pay the rent, but she finds it very difficult to manage. `The conditions for the worker in the Dominican Republic are very poor' she says. `We live thinking every day what we're going to eat and how to pay for the electricity. We have to go to work every day thinking of all of this. We have to smile to the tourists but it is not what we are feeling in our souls. We want to work and we want to make your holidays happy. But it is difficult'. แหล่งที่มา: การท่องเที่ยวที่เกี่ยวข้อง
