Agentes, brókers y otros negocios en viajes y migración.

Commercial actors in travel and migration are the private entities that facilitate and mediate migration. The specific characteristic of these actors is that their actions are based on financial rather than altruistic motives. Therefore, they request a remuneration for their services. This category of actors includes service providers such as travel agencies, labour recruitment agencies, visa brokers, marriage agencies, financial services firms, employers of transit migrants, pre-departure health assessment centers, language schools providing language certificates, au-pair or nanny agencies, student recruitment agencies etc. Intermediaries can be active in different fields of migration such as work migration, marriage migration or student mobility. It is difficult to draw a clear line between regular and irregular actors. While intermediaries usually act within the limits of the law, some actors find themselves in a semi-regular space, providing both regular and irregular services.

Migration Industries: A Comparison of the Ecuador-US and Ecuador-Spain Cases

Authors David J. KYLE, Rachel GOLDSTEIN
Description
There has been growing attention recently in what has been labeled alternatively the “migration industry,” the business of migration, or migration merchants. This paper describes two of the most significant cases of migration industries facilitating large-scale labor migrations from Ecuador to first, New York City and, then, Spain. We compare the organization and impact of these two separate migration industries and their ability to impact key features of Ecuadorians’ labor mobility and settlement at these two destinations. We discuss the historical context of the sending regions and the policies of the destination states to better understand the conditions under which such migration industries can flourish. We argue for a robust conception of migration industries, comprised of a diverse set of formal and informal economic activities, increasingly able to shape migration patterns and outcomes.
