Summary/Abstract: The main motivation for diaspora holidays is keeping ties with the homeland, family and friends and the compensation of the feeling of “at-homeness” that they lack all year long. It is so especially for a first generation of migrants, of which consists a sample of this research, and who understandably seem to be the most attached to their place of origin and its culture. However, summer time, in modernity, among other things, is the season when most people plan to go to the seaside. In the case of Kosovo Albanian diaspora, summer time holidays are mainly time to visit home (land), but a great number of them also go to the seaside.
