Economic development, tourism and demographic changes are closely related. The characteristics that define this relationship are present in the different tourist destinations at both macro and micro-scale, besides their historical evolution and geographic peculiarities. From the perspective of the re-structuring thesis, we can observe the change from fordism to post-fordism in these areas and the human mobility tied to such systems.Based on this framework, our paper analyses the tourist-residential development and the migratory patterns of the Balearic and the Canary Islands. The examination of two areas in both archipelagos (Calvià and Maspalomas) allows for a recognition of some differences in their tourist specialization and social space. However, tourist-residential processes create common features: a higher social heterogeneity and residential segregation.
Research highlights► Tourism, migration and second-home in islands depend on global and local factors. ► Fordism and post-fordism condition holiday and lodging offer and commercialization. ► Post-fordist globalization and local strategies develop international second-home. ► Tourist development entails different migratory patterns in the Spanish archipelagos. ► Global mobility and tourism cause social heterogeneity and residential segregation.
