Abstract
Researchers and planners often assume amenity-based rural communities encourage residential relocation by tourists. Researchers have explored this question using decisionmaking models, but few have analyzed this relationship from a rural development perspective. This study used a longitudinal design to model the relationship among tourism development, net migration, and residential development in a US city from 1950 to 2001. The model also included national economic and migration trends. Bivariate results showed tourism development was positively related to migration and residential development. When controlling for national economic and migration trends, however, this effect disappeared. These findings suggest that broader economic and social conditions are the primary condition for residence change, and that tourism amenities are only secondary considerations for migration and residential development.
