EmploymentObviously, many people have stores in

the touristic cities because in the touristic season many people go there and they earn a lot of money.

Infrastructure development

As many people visit these touristic cities, they need to have a good time without problems. For example, they need good roads to go to different places, good water supply, a good source of electricity and things people are interested in, such as wi-fi.

cultural preservation

People who live in these cities don´t want to lose their traditions, so they make traditional festivals or restaurants with typical foods. For example in Carilo the typical food is fish, while the typical food in Neuquen is meat. And because the visitors go to this restaurants or festivals, they preserve their culture.

People sell things or work in the touristic seasons, but when it is not touristic season, people earn much less money. So they can loose their business or if they have more money, they can maintain it with other earnings.
