Abstract: In the context of business or human resource studies, research focusing on migrants has frequently documented the acculturation techniques of the ‘transnational elite’ in new geographical settings or their career progression expectations. Human geography and migration studies, on the contrary, have acknowledged the non-career-orientated motives of affluent ‘lifestyle migrants’ who relocate to new settings in order to obtain a better quality of life. Although migrants have previously received attention in tourism research, particular groups, such as working backpackers or Mediterranean-bound retirees, have arguably garnered greater attention than those that undertake foreign assignments to fulfil travel demands and to attain new experiences. Using lifestyle migrants residing in Malaysia as our focus group, this qualitative study analyses the experiences and travel mobilities of 22 Western migrants from 7 different countries. Our findings reveal that in contrast to business and human resource studies, and similar to human geography and migration studies, many migrants cited travel and leisure opportunities in Malaysia, and the surrounding region, as a dominant motivation for their relocation. However, although numerous positive experiences and highly fluid travel mobilities were recorded, simultaneous dilemmas also emerged that challenged lifestyle migrants’ career progression demands in the long-term.

Abstract: Purpose – This exploratory study aims to determine tourism SME stakeholders’ perceptions of the performance of the first “Saudi Seasons” initiative 2019/20 developed by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH). Design/methodology/approach – This qualitative study draws on an interpretivist paradigm that explores participants’ views and experiences through immersive, semi-structured interviews. A total of 30 participants were interviewed in three locations: Riyadh, Jeddah and Al-‘Ula. A thematic analysis was then conducted and the emerging themes were presented as key findings. Findings – The Seasons have been successful in increasing business activity and changing the negative perception of Saudi Arabia among international tourists. However, it was also noted that the Seasons have put pressure on local tourism infrastructure, whilst other stakeholders raised concerns regarding the inadequate promotion of heritage sites and ineffective stakeholder engagement. Originality/value – This exploratory study offers novel stakeholder insights into the performance of the inaugural Saudi Seasons initiative and underscores the important need for SMEs to be more effectively involved in contemporary tourism development discourse in Saudi Arabia.
