| Abstract: | The authors identify how British tourists affirm authenticity through visiting socio-industrial cultural heritage attractions. Survey findings of interviews with domestic tourists visiting three major British period theme parks highlighted the diversity of perceived authenticity gained by them and, thus, showed the importance of experiential and emotive processes in their interaction with attraction settings. Especially three distinct thought processes were identified: reinforced assimilation, cognitive perception, and retroactive association. |
