Global economic and political change has stimulated an explosion in tourism-led migration flows resulting in unprecedented transformation in the form and condition of impacted communities (Woods, 2006). This increase in human migration to areas of high quality recreational and tourism resources is referred to as ‘amenity migration’ and includes both permanent and second home residents (Hall and Williams, 2002; Moss, 2006). In this paper I first present a conceptual discussion of amenity migration within a sustainability framework. I then employ this framework to examine issues of affordable employee housing – one of the major problems that can impact the quality of life for residents in tourism communities where there is a high level of amenity migration (Gober et al., 1993).
