Study on the relationship between Cross-Cultural awareness, authenticity, tourism experience and tourism satisfaction of Chinese tourists

A study on Chinese tourists' experiences at Hahoe Village reveals that objective authenticity significantly enhances both tourism experience and satisfaction. Unlike constructive authenticity, which negatively impacts experience, existential authenticity positively influences it. While objective authenticity strongly correlates with tourist satisfaction, constructive and existential authenticity show no significant relationship. The research suggests preserving Hahoe Village's authenticity while developing targeted programs to boost visitor satisfaction, offering insights for sustainable cultural heritage tourism.
