transistor theory in layman's terms,

a hole is created when an electron leaves the valence band and jumps to the conductance band. Depending on the type of material determines energy required to generate this vacancy (hole). Since GaAs requires less energy to generation the electron/hole pair, it has an abundance holes available.
