“…This was found to be the case for migrants to Costa del Sol where some 60% nominated climate as the main reason for in-migration (Eaton 1995). Climate was also identified by Valero Escandell (1992) andJurdao and Sanchez (1990) as the main reason for in-migration to parts of Spain, and they also found that the cost of living and the Spanish people were influential in the in-migration decision.…”

“…For example, Lardies (1999) found that business was a secondary motivation for migrants, with only about one half of Catalufia migrants and one third of Languedoc migrants commencing business in the first year of arrival. Oearly, it (2004); 'otherness' of a different place Shaw and Williams (2004) and activity, and associations of escapism from social conventions Relatively comfortable climate Lardies (1999); Eaton (1995); and familial/ familiar links to Valero Escandell (1992); Jurdao the destination and Sanchez (1990); Williams et al (1989) 258 was lifestyle-seeking, rather than career I employment/ profit motives, that was foremost in their minds, further demonstrated by the finding that most had not improved their economic circumstances in eventually setting up a tourism business, having moved from careers in the service sector (but significantly not in tourism) to lower income and less secure circumstances.…”

Small tourism firms in attractive tourism destinations are often generically described as 'lifestyle' oriented. A discourse on what the prefix 'lifestyle' means, when attached to small tourism firms in different economic and social contexts has been developing for a decade now, reaching a point of complexity and contradiction. In order to explore this ubiquitous, yet nebulous term, the relevant literature and associated discourse is reviewed with the aim of understanding the motives, meanings, values and contexts of these lifestyle oriented small tourism (LOST) firms. It is concluded that there are many deficiencies in both the conceptualization as well as the content of current research in this increasingly important area. A multi-disciplinary and systemic model for understanding the interactions and interdependencies of the different dimensions of LOST firms is presented.

“…Tourism labor migrants are generally classified into entrepreneur migrants and employee migrants. The former includes the people serving for special groups (Eaton, 1995), opportunity-seekers (Madden, 1999;Williams et al, 1989) and amenity-seekers (Snepenger et al, 1995). The latter can be divided into three levels: high-skilled managerial posts, intermediate posts and unskilled labors (Longino, 1992).…”

The grounded theory of qualitative methods was applied to researching the social integration of tourism labor migrants in the Jiuhua Mountain of Anhui Province, China. The research was conducted based on the in-depth interviewing of 15 samples, open-consultation and the analysis of secondhand data. The integration models of tourism labor migrants in the Jiuhua Mountain were formed through four processes including theoretic sampling, coding-analysis, cross-tabulation and contextualization. The result shows that modes of production and life styles decide self-integration orientation of tourism labor migrants in the Jiuhua Mountain. Cultural differences are fundamental dissimilarity between tourism labor migrants and natives. There are three kinds of integration models including rapid, free and gradually advancing integration. The differences among different types of migrants' integration models are remarkable. Taking the working integration as the abscissa and taking the life integration as the coordinate, an "S" model of integration matrix appears in the gradually advancing integration of intermediate and high administers from the working to the life which should be paid special attention to.
