“…Huang and Lin (2023) noted that perceived authenticity from the pilgrim point of view has been overlooked, and Baek et al (2022) pointed out that there is a lack of research exploring the contribution to spiritual well‐being or quality of life in studies on pilgrimage. Accordingly, this study created a model of the impact of the authenticity of Seonamteo Catholic Martyrs' Shrine, a representative Catholic pilgrimage site in Korea, on spiritual well‐being and quality of life, and verified the differences according to pilgrimage experience.…”

“…Thus, this study shows that modern pilgrims enhance their spirituality through the authenticity of pilgrimage sites on religious journeys, while pursuing personal peace and happiness, and that this pursuit ultimately impacts their quality of life.

“…To achieve authenticity in pilgrimage sites, they need to be constructed along with historical environments and objects (MacCannell, 1973), and the reconstruction of the historical period is a key component of cultural heritage pilgrimage sites (Timothy & Boyd, 2006). It is important to recognize authentic experiences at pilgrimage sites and improve pilgrimage experiences (Belhassen et al, 2008; Huang & Lin, 2023). The authenticity of a martyrdom site can be obtained through officially verified historical facts, relics of martyrs, various artifacts and materials related to the martyrdom, replicas, and models of martyrs.…”

With the growing interest in spirituality, there has been a corresponding rise in the number of pilgrimages. Modern pilgrims embark on pilgrimages not only for religious purposes but also for their own mental peace and health. To enhance our understanding of this trend we conducted an empirical survey of pilgrims visiting Saenamteo Catholic Martyrs' Shrine, a representative martyrdom site in Korea located on the Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage Route, the first Vatican‐designated international pilgrimage site in Asia. The analysis showed that the authenticity of the pilgrimage site impacts both the religious and the existential aspects of spiritual well‐being. However, while the existential aspect of spiritual well‐being impacted on quality of life, the religious well‐being was insignificant. These results indicate that modern pilgrims feel that their happiness and health, rather than their religion directly affects their quality of life.

“…In the objective view, the nature or 'originality' of tourism attractions is considered a measure of their authenticity. This perspective views authenticity as an inherent, unchanging quality unaffected by personal or social influences [14]. Conversely, the constructive authenticity view offers a different outlook, arguing that authenticity is not fixed but continuously shaped by individuals and society through their interactions.…”

Tourist loyalty is the key to the sustainable development of tourism in urban historical blocks. This article focuses on exploring the relationship between authenticity perception and tourist loyalty in this context. With this aim, we introduce the mediating variable of tourist engagement and construct a theoretical model of authenticity perception, tourist engagement, and tourist loyalty. Hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrapping were performed on questionnaire data of 287 West Street tourists in Dujiangyan, China. The results of this study demonstrate that both object-related authenticity perception and existential authenticity perception have a significant positive impact on tourist loyalty behavior, with similar degrees of influence. Additionally, the study reveals that tourist engagement plays a mediating role in the relationship among object-related authenticity, existential authenticity, and tourist loyalty. From the perspective of tourist engagement, this article reveals the impact mechanism of authenticity perception on tourist loyalty in the context of historical block tourism, enriches the research on tourism authenticity, and deepens the understanding of tourist loyalty behavior. Furthermore, the results of this study also provide reference for the formulation of sustainable development policies related to tourism in historical blocks.
