Travel, tourism, and migration

Abstract

This study, based on data for Hawaii and the nation as a whole, reveals that vacationers and migrants closely resemble one another in state of origin, state of destination, and timing of their travel; but are quite dissimilar in age, sex, and occupation. These relationships suggest that tourism and migration may be age- and income-conditioned responses to similar stimuli. Tourism and migration may be viewed as contrasting expressions of geographic mobility. © 1968 Population Association of America.
