Flight and Migration in the Context of Destinations: Conceptional Approaches and Empirical Insights Based on the Repurposing of Tourist Accommodation as Accommodation for Refugees – Case Study Bavaria
-

und Markus Pillmayer
Abstract
The present chapter discusses the reassignment of tourist accommodation as accommodation for refugees, an aspect which is of particular relevance for destinations and destination management both from the destination-specific and municipal perspective: on one hand, from a humanitarian perspective, there is a need to find appropriate living space for refugees at short notice, while on the other, from the standpoint of the destination management organisation, an important element in the touristic value creation chain is lost. To date, the corresponding phenomenon has remained largely unheeded in both public and scientific discourse, which is remarkable, especially considering that tourists and migrants have far more in common than is generally supposed - if only the simple fact that both social groups are firmly dependent on hospitality. Against this background, this study not only raises awareness from the conceptional-theoretical perspective for the complex implications of flight and migration within the context of destinations, but also offers insights into selected empirical findings from problem-centred interviews in which persons from the fields of hospitality, destination management or destination development and municipal politics were asked to express their views on the relevant topics.
