I imagine the income to private businesses is over 80% tourism. There is probably a small cash flow between businesses (I provide the groceries to prepare dinner, you cook it for me) but the fresh cash is from visitors. Remember the government is taxing the income (payroll) of the residents so at a certain point there will be no cash amongst the private sector.
