Holes are virtual particles. They are spots with a missing electron. A hole "moves" when an electron moves in an opposite direction.

True, but not really an answer to the question.

Unlike semiconductor devices, there is only one "kind" of vacuum tube. A push-pull amplifier with vacuum tubes requires an anti phase generator before the high and low side drivers, while with both n- and p- type available you sorta get this for free.
