This is from a press release relating to a new luxury residential complex on the Moroccan coast. I'm having trouble coming up with something imaginative for this part of the sentence:
Le Maroc n’a pas une tradition d’installations high-tech mais, depuis ces dernières décennies, *** un phénomène migratoire d’un nouveau genre le pousse à y recourir de plus en plus *** : une clientèle en provenance d’Europe, qui n’est plus uniquement de passage, vient y chercher tout au long de l’année les faveurs d’un climat chaud et ensoleillé pour y couler une douce retraite.
Thank you

a new type of (long-term) visitor/guest
Depends how colourful you want to be. Something like "guest" might work for those who are retiring there.

new kinds of migratory patterns is leading it to have more and more recourse to it
I know it says the 'migration' is not just 'de passage', but I feel like they're being a bit colourful by referring to "un phenomene migratoire", ie birds who fly south for the winter, hence also the reference to the sunny climate.
In a press release this is perhaps the lighter tone to adopt than by referring to "migration trends".

a migratory phenomenon
Why not the literal translation? It conveys the intended meaning much better...
