Abstract

Canary Island constitutes a recognized tourist destination and also a known migratory region. A lot of immigrants who came to Canary Island have being employed at tourist companies. The literature admits that the labor immigration can have positive and negative influences in the resident community and in the tourist companies too. Also the negative attitudes of the residents could generate positive and negative effects in the tourism and in the results of the managerial organizations. The aim of the present paper is to identify the attitudes that the residents in Canary Island adopt toward the general immigration and to the labor immigration in relation to the destination and to the tourist companies. Using the Rasch model the results shows that the young people possess perceptions and attitudes that are not negative but must been consider by the leaders.
