“…In prior studies, the characteristics of authenticity had been widely discussed in the context of slow tourism [24,28,30,52], but were usually approached from an object-related perspective. Studies have rarely explicitly linked existential authenticity to slow tourism, even though it is highly consistent with the principles of slow tourism.…”

“…Given this, slow tourism will provide an opportunity to achieve a deep experience, and then it would be easier for tourists to obtain a sense of attachment to a place. Specifically, tourists may enjoy and be attracted by "slow" theme tourism activities (such as traditional food experience or "slow" featured traffic experiences), immersing themselves in the experience process at a slow tourism destination [24,27,28,30]. In addition, one of the aims of slow tourism is to "live like a local".…”

“…Several studies have pointed out that slow tourism, combined with slow cities, can help tourists enjoy their time while traveling and engage themselves with places and local people, focus more on sustainable tourism experiences and gain a deeper attachment to the destination [24,28,[30][31][32]. As such, tourists can be more immersed in the destination and experience, which is hard to feel with "fast tourism" [24,27,28,30]. Additionally, slow tourism changes people's lifestyle to a slower state that caters to people who want to embrace their true self.…”

Examining Structural Relationships among Brand Experience, Existential Authenticity, and Place Attachment in Slow Tourism Destinations

2020

Understanding how tourists’ brand experiences impact their existential authenticity, and the role of existential authenticity in the formation mechanism of place attachment to the destination, are key issues for the marketing of a destination. The current study examines the relationship between tourists’ experience, existential authenticity, and place attachment, and the indirect effect of existential authenticity on the relationship between destination brand experience and place attachment from the oriental perspective against the slow tourism background. A self-administered survey was conducted at Yaxi town, the first international slow city in China. A total of 398 samples were analyzed using a two-step approach of the structural equation model (SEM). The findings show that destination brand experience partially impacts existential authenticity, and both the intrapersonal and interpersonal authenticity (the sub-dimensions of existential authenticity) significantly influence place attachment. Additionally, affective and behavioral experience indirectly influence place attachment through existential authenticity. Based on the conclusions, theoretical and practical recommendations are considered.

“…The Italian slow food movement has been suggested to interpret the emerging need of food consumers linked to the ethical and the social dimensions of eating habits [53] as well as to aim to save the varieties, breeds, and foods threatened by the standardization and homogenization of agriculture-consequences of the widespread use of conventional practices [54]. In Korea, the slow food movement is an emerging trend among tourists as well as consumers [55].…”

Slow lifestyles have become a way for individuals to reduce the amount of stress in their lives. Moreover, along with wellness and slow food, slow life seeking is emerging as an area of study, though little research has been studied at Slow Life Festivals (SLFs) associated with consumers’ wellness pursuits, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food. To address this gap, this study examined visitors’ decision-making processes using an extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB) by incorporating wellness pursuit, slow life seeking, and perceptions of slow food at an SLF. Thus, this study developed a theoretically comprehensive framework by applying field survey. Results revealed significant impacts of visitors’ wellness pursuits and slow life seeking on their decision-making, indicating that wellness and slow life were important factors to consider for SLF management. The research further identified the perception of slow food as a mediator in predicting behavioral intentions. Results further demonstrated a strong relationship between wellness pursuit and perception of slow food for highly attached visitors while revealing a significant relationship between slow life seeking and perception of slow food for less attached visitors. Consequently, this study shed significant light on our understanding of why visitors intend to revisit SLFs.

“…According to Taheri et al (2018), contemporary tourists seek a unique and authentic experience to get to know local people and their way of living. These tourists look for authentic experience by attending local festivals (Chung et al, 2018), getting involved in the local customs (Lee, Chao, Lin, 2018), and life in general (Prince, 2017, Locaric et al 2018, visiting heritage sites and ethnographic museums (Taheri et al 2018), eating local foods (Choe and Kim, 2018;Mykletun, Gyimothy, 2010) and lodging by the locals (Wiles, Crawford, 2017).…”

The mission of this research is to analyze how small producers of natural and traditional products can strengthen their position in the market and bring positive change to themselves and their stakeholders by establishing a brand and making it stronger through storytelling, organic certification and providing tourist experience. The study was approached inductively, by applying in-depth multiple source analysis on an identified exemplar case. The results show that creating a brand story and getting and presenting organic label are important factors for the market success, but yield limited results without consumers having the opportunity to experience the brand and its story. Producers of natural and traditional products are adviced to think of ways of how to provide consumer experience and how to get consumers in touch with their products, i.e. how to turn a non touristic business into a touristic one. This will have the strongest effect on their own sales, but will also benefit the other stakeholders the most.
