Abstract

Affinity tourism seems to have aroused the interest of social science researchers in recent years in connection with the rise of international migration in the context of globalization. This type of tourism questions the personal and social relationship to places established in the context of a return journey to the land of "origins." In an attempt to understand the driving forces behind this affinity tourism, the aim of this article is to identify the images and representations of the destination "Algeria" among the children of immigrants. This type of mobility, beyond the search for a simple change of scenery, questions the nature of tourist travel and its motivations. To conduct this study, we favoured an exploratory qualitative method based on focus groups. It is a first milestone in a wider survey envisaged in order to examine in depth the motivations and mental constructions linked to this travel experience in Algeria.
