Summary

Introduction

The global population over 60 years old is estimated to increase from 841 million in 2013 to 2 billion by 2050 (United Nations 2013, 6). Retirees moving overseas is a new form of international human mobility, entailing the movement of elderly people in their later lives to places offering more favourable features and better life quality after retirement (Balkir and Kirkulak-Uludag 2009). This phenomenon is frequently termed as international second home, long stay tourism and international retirement migration (e.g., Abdul-Aziz, Loh and Jaafar 2014; Balkir and Kirkulak-Uludag 2009; Breuer 2005; Hall and Müller 2004; Kummaraka and Jutaporn 2011; Ono 2010; Williams and Hal, 2002; Wong and Musa, 2014; 2015a; 2015b). There has been a continuous flow of retirees moving from the cold northern and central Europe to the warmer second home destinations
