        • E.g. 2500 people work as seasonal workers every year
      • Companies make lots of money from it

    • SOCIAL IMPACTS
      • Types of jobs changed from farm labouring to jobs in restaurants and hotels
      • Tourist developments have increased the risk of avalanches - more deaths from avalanches, e,g, 12 people killed in 1999
