“…Place attachment has been previously studied in the second home tourism market. For example, Dias et al (2015) analyze the second home owners’ perspectives of two sun and golf destinations in the southern EU (Albufeira in the south of Portugal and Islantilla in the south of Spain) and conclude that the limited descriptions of the destination observed in the rental advertisement has the origin in the lack of the sense of place attachment, and this is also the reason for renting the house. In contrast, Marschall (2015) analyze the trips of survivors and the descendants who travel to places that were once their home from which they were obliged to emigrate for various reasons that vary from political persecution to other economic causes.…”

“…These reasons are usually classified according to a variety of migrants’ life-styles that finally influence in the health and subjective well-being of the retired citizens (Gustafson, 2001; Hall and Hardill, 2016). We can mention the following: improving the quality of life (Casado-Díaz, 2006); retiring and living in countries that they knew on their vacation (Casado-Díaz et al , 2004); looking for a lower cost of life and warmer climates (Huete, 2009); moving out to escape from their home countries or to be away from relatives (Warnes, 2001); knowing different people, cultures and places (Gustafson, 2001); relaxing in quieter cities and towns where they can live away from noise and globalization (Tress, 2002); and adjusting the preferences according to the place attachment (Dias et al , 2015; Marschall, 2015; Tjorve et al , 2013). …”

“…Logically, the more attractive the home is, the more potential swappers will be available to choose from, increasing the range of potential destinations to travel to and accommodation types to select. In a similar fashion to second homes, owners who rent out their properties via online platforms must attempt to persuade potential guests to choose their properties (Dias, Correia & Martínez López, 2015).…”

“…The curation of 'home' by P2PA company marketing campaigns potentially simplifies the true process of home making, which requires compounding experiences, values, beliefs, and norms over time (Tuan, 1975). Moreover, these attributes of home making are shaped by historical, cultural, physical, and ecological attributes of the natural and built environment (Dias et al, 2015;Tuan, 1975). The oversimplification or perhaps narrow projection of the 'home' to guests reinforces the illusion that they are only consuming an experience at the listing as advertised to them thus creating a 'myth identity' of the home (Harley, 1989).…”
