regional migrants
Area-to-area travelers
Regional migrants are people who move from one area to another within the same country or geographic region, as distinct from international migrants who cross national borders.
The term often appears in discussions of urbanization, economic opportunity, and population shifts: Regional migrants from rural provinces flood into coastal cities seeking factory work.
The phrase emphasizes movement within a bounded territory rather than emigration abroad.
