We suggest to split the fourth and last category in two. Departures are made in haste, boat people move during the night and sometimes disappear out at sea e. We refer here to the migrants of Haiti, the Dominica, St-Lucia, and all the faceless and nameless people who, with only a few food reserves, go from harbour to harbour of the Caribbean Coast in the hope of being able to sneak into a container ship heading for Miami.
Some migrants are more qualified; we refer here to intra-regional and international movements. They can find an employer who provides them the authorizations to work in foreign countries. But very often, confronted with the lack of legal means to leave their country, they buy forged identity papers for example of French nationality , then join anglophone islands St-Lucia, Antigua while passing themselves off as French West-Indian tourists.
And from these places, they buy plane tickets to go to Canada. Tourists are at the origin of financial transfers: they come to consume, not to work. We refer here to the whole or partial transfer of a professional activity, in particular in the world of business, entertainment, management of the natural environment and biodiversity.
This new mobility remains a prerogative of the well-off classes of rich societies and a handful of the privileged elite from the rest of the world — with a few exceptions. These populations are characterized by a high frequency of movements and by the fact that they have multiple dwellings the living area is thus divided between several places: between a metropolis of north-southern America and a few privileged tourist locations in the Caribbean.
This marginal mobility, which existed since the 19 th century in the area with the famous winter residences of businessmen 6 , is more and more developed today. If it remains the prerogative of the most well-off 7 , it now extends to other categories, less fortunate, with a greater variety in the geographical origins and the personal plans 8.
This economy gives place to greater intra-regional and international mobility. Very often, these places authorize non-official migrations tacitly because the tourist companies need flexible workers, without qualification, the least heavy possible, to carry out incompressible tasks gardening, maintenance work. And in the Caribbean basin, the transnational networks with their providers of migrants from Colombia to Miami orchestrate an invisible mobility which feeds the illicit activities in relation to prostitution and drug consumption, grafted in these tourist enclaves , the best example of this being Jamaica.
The analysis of mobility must take social and economic scales into account and one should reflect upon the meaning of new and old frontiers. Similar to crossroads, tourist locations are simultaneously strategic phases — temporary working places and intermediate places — for migrants who wish to reach the rich metropolises of the North. Conversely, they, in turn, also receive populations coming from the North, between holiday stay and new resident status. The choice of a living environment and the pursuit of present well-being prevail in the case of these post-migratory movements which characterize the new living place-workplace-tourist place continuum.
BELL M. Understanding international migration at the end of the millenium , Oxford, Clarendon Press. Among these migrations we also distinguish commuting daily or weekly movements within the usual living area. The tourist locations of the Dominican Republic, which attract the North-American middle class, and especially Europeans, pay very little from the economic point of view to the country. Gas shortage, fuel inflation, electricity cuts are the everyday life of nationals, who conceive their future only in their community emigrated and established in the United States.
Then he hires primarily workers from St-Lucia for an equal qualification level, the wages will be 4 times less important. Olivier Dehoorne et Huhua Cao , « Mobility and tourist locations. Department of Geography, University of Ottawa, caohuhua uottawa. Voir la notice dans le catalogue OpenEdition.
