First, members of wealthy tourist-generating nations can be viewed as conspicuous consumers of the valuable resources of the developing world. The exploitation of these countries on the pleasure periphery has been interpreted by some commentators as a form of neocolonialism, although few tourists would analyse their own behaviour in such a stark manner. Second, individual holiday choices made amongst complex status hierarchies of destinations can also be understood as conspicuous consumption, especially when considered in terms of ego-enhancement motivation and trip-dropping.

People from New Orleans relocating to another state is a push factor because of Hurricane Katrina. Homes in New Orleans were destroyed along with everything else in the city, therefore people had to migrate somewhere else to have another home and/or rebuild their whole life. The opposite of a push factor is a pull factor, which is a feature that induces people to move to a certain location.
