Resumo: The residents’ opinions about the characteristics of employment in the tourism in the Valencia Region (Spain) are analyzed. Three hypotheses are proposed: a) tourism is an economic activity evaluated positively by the host population because it is identified as an important generator of employment and wealth; b) but people recognize that working conditions in the tourism sector are worse than those of other economic activities; c) those people most related to tourism are more likely to accept the activity and positively assess their working conditions.
