This article focuses on young adults who travel to work and live in the Rocky Mountain resort destination of Banff National Park in western Canada. This is usually an early work experience in the lives of these young workers, often their first. I discuss the patterns and the impact of the work mobility of young adult tourism workers using three different frames of understanding: (a) the precarious employment associated with the tourism industry itself; (b) the specific place and community of Banff and how it shapes particular conditions of precarity and agency within the tourism industry and for young tourism workers’ experiences; and (c) the young adult tourism workers themselves — their motives for work and travel, their experiences of work, and their agency in navigating the tourism industry in Banff. Using these three frames, I examine the impact of precarity and agency on the transfer of work knowledge, on the sustainability of the tourism industry work and the community, and on the young adult tourism workers’ future work experiences. It is critical to examine work precarity, worker agency, and job and community sustainability in order to understand more fully the experiences of mobility of young adult tourism workers, and their early work experiences. This is all the more important as, in a climate of economic change and restructuring, young adult workers are becoming central to the consideration of employment policy issues.

不确定性、代理性和不可持续性：加拿大班夫国家公园年轻成人旅游工作者的流动性

本文重点介绍在加拿大西部班夫国家公园落基山度假胜地工作和生活的年轻人。这通常是这些年轻工人生活中的早期工作经历，通常是他们的第一次。我使用三种不同的理解框架讨论青年旅游工作者工作流动的模式和影响：（a）与旅游业本身相关的不稳定就业；(b) 班夫的具体地点和社区，以及它如何塑造旅游业内不稳定和代理的特定条件以及年轻旅游工作者的经历；(c) 年轻的旅游工作者本身——他们工作和旅行的动机、他们的工作经历以及他们在班夫旅游业中的主导地位。使用这三个框架，我研究了不稳定和代理对工作知识转移、旅游业工作和社区的可持续性以及青年旅游工作者未来工作经验的影响。为了更全面地了解年轻成人旅游工作者的流动经历以及他们早期的工作经历，检查工作的不稳定性、工人机构以及工作和社区的可持续性至关重要。这一点更为重要，因为在经济变化和结构调整的大环境下，青年工人正成为考虑就业政策问题的核心。工人机构、工作和社区可持续性，以便更全面地了解年轻成人旅游工人的流动经历以及他们早期的工作经历。这一点更为重要，因为在经济变化和结构调整的大环境下，青年工人正成为考虑就业政策问题的核心。工人机构、工作和社区可持续性，以便更全面地了解年轻成人旅游工人的流动经历以及他们早期的工作经历。这一点更为重要，因为在经济变化和结构调整的大环境下，青年工人正成为考虑就业政策问题的核心。
