In the United States, seasonal tourism destinations have become increasingly reliant on international guest workers arriving on both the J-1 and H-2B visa. The book provides a link between macro political, economic and socio-cultural factors and consequences associated with this phenomenon from the perspective of local places, employers, workers and their advocates. Topics include housing shortages, labor market shifts, and precarious work. Tourism Geography; Labor Migration; Guest Workers; Precarious Work; Workforce Housing
