Those employed by tourism-related businesses have watched in horror as the BP oil spill has all but cancelled the travel of people from across the United States to the Gulf Coast. While the focus of the media has often been on the fishing industries and the small businesses that thrive along the Gulf, little mention has been made about the employees of these important companies. For every captain of a fishing boat, there are a number of deckhands or movers employed and needed to help the process move. This is just as true for tourist businesses like hotels, boat rentals, etc., that employ a variety of people from all different walks of life to keep the Gulf Coast fun for visitors. What must be remembered, though, is that the BP oil spill has dramatically hurt the financial stability of these people.
