The answer

Working in tourist villages is mostly forbidden due to their inclusion of prohibited things like alcohol and immodesty, and because they are places that invite corruption. This falls under cooperating in sin and aggression.

The money earned from this work is forbidden, and one must dispose of it by spending it on good causes. There is no sin in what was previously spent from this money on essential needs.

It is permissible to work in tourist villages if they are free of evil, or if the worker does not come into contact with evil or assist in it, but this is usually impossible.
