These were among the revelations made last Friday by Madalena Feu, a regional IEFP job centre delegate, at the Albufeira Summit, in a panel dedicated to employment and entrepreneurship.
She said that, in February, of the 33,459 unemployed people registered in the Algarve, 6658 were from Albufeira.
The dangers of being tourist dependent are numerous: the locals can't afford to buy or even rent because real estate agents blow up the prices; the foreign population tends to destroy the charms that were initially so attractive; foreign tourists , kings of the invaded country, replace the local culture with theirs; and on and on including spread their diseases to the locals. And despite this the greed for money at any price makes nice folks (and others) to rush forward blindly to bring in the tourists at any cost, including all media!
