These are all assumptions made on (confirmed) stereotypes of touristical areas.
If you choose tourism, you will be able to live the life as you have always known it. You will do what most of the people you know do. You will earn money, but likely not become very rich. Tourism might decrease one day for some years and then you will need some spare money. You will not be able to switch jobs fast (eg during a crysis), since you don't have any "valuable" graduation for other branches.
If you choose IT, as you have mentioned, you might have to work hard to accomplish something in your home town. Same stuff as tourism, though if your company/the one you work for becomes locally popular, you might actually gain a lot of money. However remind yourself that other people will start in IT as well and might be better at it than you. Just like most other jobs. You will be able to switch jobs with this graduation, but since you said there's not a lot of IT over there at the moment, that might be a problem.
If you choose IT, you could also move to another area, something more crowded where the focus is not on tourism. You'll be able to switch jobs easily, should get a lot of job opportunities and when you are motivated and skilled enough you could make a shitload of money - IT is the most booming business since some years. Financially I would think this is the most stable and promisiong choice, however you should not underestimate the fact you moved area. If it's within your country, it wouldn't be such a big change I suppose (unless your country is huge, but I assume it is not). If it is in another country, keep in mind that you will be a stranger there. You will always be the foreigner. Plus, you will start a new life, which means you won't see any of your beloved ones regularly anymore.
