“…Furthermore, another struggle that is not a stable concept, in fact, it is a changeable and living phenomena which can affected by factors like tourism (Martin, 2014;Timothy & Ron, 2013;Tiberghien et al, 2020). If the recovery process applied successfully after deterioration, will the authentic products be the same as they were will also be mentioned.…”

“…In addition to pioneer tourists, local people who want to promote their everyday life as an attraction or just have desire to show their life contribute this consensus also (Tiberghien et al, 2020). Farmers to restaurateurs, many different producers and service providers use media channels to promote the authenticity of their products (Cobb, 2014;Pilař et al, 2016).…”

“…Authenticity is seen as a contributor of tourism experience (Wang, 1999;Özdemir & Seyitoğlu, 2017;Zhang et al, 2019;Tiberghien et al, 2020). In tourism literature, many researchers proposed that the idea of authenticity, which associates "traditionality" and "genuinity", is one of the main motivations of some tourists (Cohen, 1988;Wang, 1999;Stankova & Vassenska, 2015;Özdemir & Seyitoğlu, 2017;Guerreiro & Marques, 2017;Zhang et al, 2019).…”

Local gastronomy offers authenticity, an important element of tourist experience. However, some tourists cannot experience gastronomic products in their exact authentic forms. This issue causes from tourists' typology, importance level of gastronomy, and quest for authenticity. For serving widely variated tourists, producers of the local gastronomic products make changes in the essence of products. Current study aims to investigate changing process of gastronomic products’ authenticity which are served in the context of tourism, and to develop an understanding on causes and costs of deterioration. Methodologically, existing literature had evaluated with conceptual inferences. As the findings propose, the changes start with touristic exploration which is followed by tourism-related deterioration. After deterioration, if process of recovery conducted, turning back to the exact form of authenticity does not seem possible. The alternative forms of authenticity are most likely to occur. Additionally, mistaken perspectives like considering recovery preventions as short-term actions can lead the deterioration again, like a loop. Raising awareness for prevent this loop is this study's critical proposition to destinations. Opening new horizons for the phenomenon of authenticity and overthrowing the idea that see tourists as the sole reason for deterioration are the contributions to the literature. The changes that lead deterioration are responsibility of locals, too.

“…This study explores the mediating mechanism of the authenticity, and there may be other mediating or moderating variables that may also play an influential role. For example, the level of involvement affects tourists' perceptions of authenticity (Tiberghien et al, 2020). These factors can be taken into account in the future to construct a more complete research model.…”

Place attachment can effectively increase the revisit rate of tourists, which is significant for the sustainability of rural tourism. However, previous studies have rarely explored what kind of host-guest emotional closeness can promote tourist place attachment. This study explores the relationship between local residents’ emotional labor strategy, perceived authenticity, and tourists’ place attachment based on the rural tourism context. A total of 266 valid questionnaires were collected from rural tourists in Yantai as the research subjects by random sampling method. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the hypotheses. The results showed that local residents’ deep acting positively influenced tourists’ place attachment, and perceived authenticity partially mediated the relationship between the two. The negative effect of surface acting on rural tourists’ place attachment was not significant.

Tourism has been one of the most important economic sectors in the Alps for many years. However, not least because of the cuts due to the pandemic, new and innovative approaches are needed to meet current challenges such as climate change, shortage of skilled workers or demographic change in order to make Alpine tourism fit for the future. The topic of health offers great potential in this context. With the KPI approach, therefore, a possible access to a nature-based health tourism with medical evidence is presented, which should support the actors from the tourism practice in the further development of the Alpine tourism. At the same time, the KPI approach also offers possibilities to enable an overall more sustainable development of the Alpine region. This paper places the KPI approach in a larger development framework and explains the underlying analytical system based on selected indicators.
