“…Both of the countries focused on their cultural assets and put more effort than ever to preserve their culture (Li 2003). The positive side of the commodification through the preservation of the local culture is supported in recent studies and well (Pradana 2018;Su 2019). In Bali, the Balinese shadow puppet performance is evaluated within the context of commodification and authenticity from economic, social, and cultural perspectives.…”

“…Many authors pointed out the economic benefits of the commodification of the culture for the sake of tourism. (Bowers & Cheer 2017;Pradana 2018;Su 2018;Su 2019;Young & Markham 2020). The recent literature shows that the results of this may be both negative and positive despite the positive economic impacts.…”

“…In China, the restoration of traditional houses for tourism led local people to lose their properties, and external investors benefit from tourism-related commodification economically. Also, locals are excluded in the decision-making process, while only heritage experts have the power to define what is authentic and what is not (Su 2019).…”

“…High tourist demand for traditional authentic experience has led to an excessive supply of commodified non-original cultural elements. Henna nights, Ramadan and local food in Turkey (Aktürk, Durak, & Arslan 2019;Ger & Holt 2000;Sandıkcı & Omeraki 2007), fishing activity in Waanyi (Smith, 2006), the heritage in Scotland (Bryce, Murdy, & Alexander 2017), lands in popular tourist destinations (Young & Markham 2020), yoga in India (Bowers & Cheer 2017) puppet shows in Taiwan (Pradana 2018) and traditional music in China (Su 2019) are some examples of commodification around the world.…”

Defining authenticity and authentic experience is a complex process. The actual meaning of authenticity is 'original'; however, there are different interpretations based on various perspectives such as objectivism, constructivism, and post-modernism. Under the current changing and globalizing environment, cultural boundaries are weakening and traditions lose their core form. Power and politics play important role in heritage preservation and authorization of the authentic experience. The search for authentic experience has become one of the main drives for people to travel. The increase in the demand for authentic products and experiences has resulted in the commodification of cultural elements. On the other hand, cultural tourism not only creates jobs for local people but also led them to embrace their culture. Globalization, capitalism, standardization, and social media are some examples of variables influencing authentic expertise within the context of tourism. Future research should consider such variables. The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding of the role of authenticity in touristic experience by reviewing the relevant literature.

“…There is always a tension between commodification and heritage preservation [15]. Business and commercialization are usually thought of as causing negative effects on the authenticity of cultural heritage [16,17]. However, the positive effects of the resilience of restaurants in building sustainable food heritage when facing disruptions and opportunities in the modern world have not been examined.…”

This study investigates the sustainability of food heritage in the modern world. The city of Guangzhou in Guangdong province has quickly changed to become a large metropolis within 40 years after China’s opening policy. Using Guangzhou’s Yumcha heritage as the case, we propose that Yumcha restaurants’ resilience has enhanced Yumcha heritage sustainability, and their dynamic capabilities have had a positive influence on both Yumcha restaurants’ resilience and the sustainability of Yumcha heritage. The study focuses on (1) the influence of social–cultural changes on the sustainability of Yumcha culture, (2) the influence of restaurant dynamic capabilities on Yumcha heritage sustainability, (3) Yumcha restaurants’ resilience-mediating effect, and (4) the moderating effects of social-cultural changes. The findings contribute to our understanding from four aspects: (1) Social–cultural changes negatively impact on Yumcha heritage; (2) the dynamic capability of Yumcha restaurants has a direct positive impact on Yumcha heritage; (3) the dynamic capabilities of Yumcha restaurants and social–cultural changes enable Yumcha heritage to become more resilient and improve the sustainability of Yumcha heritage; and (4) social–cultural changes moderate the indirect effects of proactive behavior on Yumcha heritage sustainability via Yumcha restaurant resilience.

This study explores the sustainable development of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) tourism from a rational behavioral process perspective based on the theory of planned behavior. A multi‐level conceptual model of ICH tourism and its intentions for sustainable development, including formal rationality and substantive rationality, is constructed. We discovered that it is not only altruistic intention that contributes to decision‐making in the sustainable development of ICH tourism, but egoistic benefit also has an impact on such decisions. This is an explorative study that provides a hierarchical linear conceptual framework for the sustainable development of ICH tourism by discussing practitioners' decision‐making behavior.
