Excuse me! I did not read the "for" group of words well! Just as some of my students might have, I only read to "tourists"! Yikes! Now, having learned to read, I would offer this opinion: "...for the entertainment of tourists is the business of the place" is an adverbial clause modifying the verb "are." Why are there many hotels? Because the entertainment of tourists is the business of the place. Do you know why I can step right out here in the middle of all you scholars and offer my opinion? Let me tell you why! The park board is offering, incredibly, a new "Over 50" water aerobics class in town , for the widening of the potential number of pool users is goal of the class, which, as you may not have known, is located in the shallow end of the pool----a pool that I never dared enter before taday! But now I can do anything! Even suggest possibly pathetic answers to grammar questions while in the company of folks obviously better educated than I! >There are, indeed, many hotels, for the entertainment of tourists is the >business of the place, which, as many travelers will remember, is seated >upon the edge of a remarkably blue lake--a lake that it behooves every >tourist to visit. The DollyMama Money can't buy you love, and love is what is truly important in this life. Put people before things, always.
