Various studies revealing the relationship between tourism and amenity migration (Williams et al, 2000; Kuentzel & Ramaswamy, 2005; Willams & Gill, 2006; Ruiz-Ballesteros & CaceresFeria, 2016) point out that popular tourist destinations have the potential to turn into amenity migration destinations over time
Summary
The concept of international migration has had a major impact on societies around the globe (Massey et al, 1993), and it appears that it will go on to have further effects. In this context, there has been a significant rise in the number of empirical studies on international migration. One of the types of international migration is amenity migration, which has been experienced since the Second World War. It is a type of migration that is carried out to benefit from sociocultural and economic opportunities, as well as to relieve stress in the environment that individuals experience (Borsdorf, Hidalgo, & Zunino, 2012). At the same time as the retirement length increased as a result of increased life expectancy (Commission of the European Communities, 1994), the increase in retirees’ savings in proportion to the improving economic conditions enabled individuals to prepare new strategies for their retirement (Williams, King, Warnes, & Patterson, 2000) and even opened up the way for retirees to continue their lives in areas that offered better environmental conditions (Rodriguez, Mayorales, & Rofo, 1998)
