Research on lifestyle migration continues to evolve as these movements become more geographically diverse. This form of movement has emerged as an important aspect of social and economic development in many so-called “less-developed countries.” As an increasing number of individuals from more-developed countries seek less-expensive and more-exotic locales to relocate, challenges are sure to follow. This research explores this growing phenomenon in three locations in Belize, a country that has been touted as one of the most desirable for these lifestyle migrants. The paper argues that these three destinations—Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker, and Corozal—are attractive for different reasons and are at different phases of their evolution, and that the reaction of locals also varies by destination.
