“…Thus, many people spend long stretches of time in areas with a better climate than their place of origin (Munar, 2010). This form of tourism (called 'residential tourism') has a strong impact on the area where it takes place (Casado-Díaz, 1999) because communities of people of different nationalities appear and become part, semipermanently, of the consumer base in each tourist destination. During the period of time that they stay at the destination, they are in contact with the new culture and society, which in certain cases can lead to acculturation.…”

Results show that the acculturation of IRT follows a Pareto/Bradford distribution: few show high levels of acculturation and many show low levels. Finally, we find significant differences in shopping behaviour and socio-demographic variables.Keywords: Acculturation, residential tourism, shopping behaviour, measurement scale Please cite this article in press as: De Juan-Vigaray, M.

“…In our case, we have updated their proposal by incorporating the seasonal population in the analysis and by including a new indicator of interconnectivity (number 4: Drift Index), which allows measurement of the extra time that the urban buses require to connect the different transport areas (see Figure 1) compared to the shortest possible route with the use of private transport. Although seasonal population has been taken into account before in other studies to estimate its impact on the demographic and economic structure of rural areas [49], and also to examine the impact of second-home developments on the socio-demographic structure of the population of Although seasonal population has been taken into account before in other studies to estimate its impact on the demographic and economic structure of rural areas [49], and also to examine the impact of second-home developments on the socio-demographic structure of the population of coastal tourist destinations [50], a lack of studies has been detected on public transport networks at inframunicipal scale that specifically analyse the relationships between tourism and the effectiveness of public transport at tourist destinations using spatial coverage approximation. The present study contributes to this field.…”

This article develops a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness and spatial coverage of public transport in tourist cities. The proposed methodology is applied and validated in Cambrils municipality, in the central part of the Costa Daurada in Catalonia, a coastal destination characterised by the concentration of tourism flows during summer. The application of GIS spatial analysis tools allows for the development of a system of territorial indicators that spatially correlate the public transport network and the distribution of the population. The main novelty of our work is that this analysis not only includes the registered resident population, but also incorporates the population that temporarily inhabits the municipality (tourists). The results of the study firstly permit the detection of unequal spatial accessibility and coverage in terms of public transport in the municipality, with significant differences between central neighbourhoods and peripheral urban areas of lower population density. Secondly, they allow observation of how the degree of public transport coverage differs significantly in areas with a higher concentration of tourist accommodation establishments.

“…Las encuestas anteriores sobre esta población se realizaron por medio de muestreos de conveniencia (Breuer, 2005;Casado, 1999;Huber, 2005;Williams y Hall, 2002) o mediante muestreo por cuotas no probabilístico (Rodríguez, Fernández-Mayoralas y Rojo, 1998). En el presente estudio, el intento por realizar una investigación con vocación de representatividad supone un avance significativo en el conocimiento empírico de los procesos de movilidad internacional por motivos residenciales.…”

ResumenEn los procesos de movilidad internacional de jubilados desde el norte de Europa hasta las costas mediterráneas, se reconocen nuevos estilos de vida relacionados con fenómenos de naturaleza en ocasiones turística y a veces migratoria. Las sociedades que acogen a esta población requieren la definición de criterios para categorizar a estas personas como turistas o inmigrantes, pues la financiación y la gestión de sus recursos depende de ello. En este trabajo, se construye una tipología creada a partir de una encuesta realizada a 872 ciudadanos europeos en la provincia de Alicante. El empadronamiento y la forma de tenencia de la vivienda ocupada se revelan como las variables explicativas de la relación existente entre el turismo de larga estancia y la migración residencial. Palabras clave: movilidad internacional, Mediterráneo, turismo residencial, jubilados, sociología. Abstract. The Limits between Tourism and Residential Migration. A TypologyNew lifestyles some related to tourism phenomena and others to migration trends, can be identified behind the international mobility process of retirees who move from northern European countries to Mediterranean areas. Host societies require the definition of criteria that will allow them to classify these people either as tourists or as immigrants, since the funding and management of their resources depend on it. In this article we propose a typology based on a survey of 872 European citizens in the province of Alicante. Both the fact of being registered in the local census and whether the dwelling is bought or rented by those European citizens turn out to be the explanatory variables of the relationship between long-stay tourism and residential migration.
