Job stability: seasonal tourism vs. stable tech industry

I used to work in a hotel myself, and every “slow” month I had to look for extra work because my salary dropped dramatically. Then I compared myself to my friends who had gone into IT: they don't have such ups and downs — they get orders all year round. So I wonder: should countries invest more in technology development, even if tourism seems to be a faster source of income?
