Under the experience economy, leisure and recreational activities are becoming increasingly important since they can help people relax their minds and release stress. To tourists around the world, engaging in recreational activities is an opportunity to learn about the local culture. However, during the process of preservation and rejuvenation, excessive modern elements that have been added to tourist destinations such as Lukang Old Street dilute the historical value of their local cultures. This study explores the relationship among authenticity, experiential value, and place attachment of Lukang Old Street. The study collected 306 valid questionnaires and used confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to analyze the data. The findings of the study show that (1) authenticity has a significant positive effect on experiential value, (2) experiential value has a significant positive effect on place attachment, (3) authenticity has no significant effect on place attachment, and (4) experiential value has a mediating effect on place attachment. This study also suggests highlighting the objective authenticity of Lukang Old Street and recommends that the government develop more experiential activities to arouse tourists’ attachment to Lukang Old Street. |
