Abstract: Growing interest surrounds second homes in tourism and urban planning. Despite the strong conceptual foundation pertaining to rural second-home tourism, limited discourse assesses its development mechanisms and impacts in urban contexts. By leveraging enclave concepts from geography, this study employs a socio-spatial perspective to examine how second-home tourism shapes the urban environment. A case study approach was adopted to investigate the formation of second-home tourism spaces in Sanya, China. Findings from 34 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders identified three attributes differentiating second-home tourism spaces from their surroundings. These findings inform the development of a conceptual framework for understanding the emergence of second-home tourism enclaves, which considers potential economic leakage and threats to sustainable urban development.
