Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the family tourist trips and holidays as acomplex process, defined by a series of socio-cultural factors such as the sense oflocality, the family ties, the professional status. There will be the attempt to showthe tourist perceptions and practices of a group of entrepreneurs from Mykonos(place of origin), an overly-developed Greek tourist island. While they themselvesare producers of tourism services, by going on pleasure trips to Thailand theybecome tourists, even forming a tourist identity related to perceptions about thesense of belonging and the family.
