This study examines Jiufen Old Street as the research setting to explore the impact of commercialization on tourists’perceptions of authenticity, satisfaction, and loyalty. Based on a literature review, a research framework was developed, and data were collected through a questionnaire survey, followed by statistical analyses to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that tourists generally recognize the positive benefits of commercialization, with commercialization showing a significant positive effect on satisfaction. In terms of authenticity, tourists reported the strongest perception of“uniqueness,”and authenticity was found to significantly influence both satisfaction and loyalty; furthermore, a positive relationship was confirmed between satisfaction and loyalty. However, the hypothesized negative effect of commercialization on authenticity was not supported, suggesting that tourists tolerate the coexistence of commercialization and authenticity to some extent. Overall, the study demonstrates the close interconnections among commercialization, authenticity perception, satisfaction, and loyalty, while highlighting the importance of balanced commercialization in enhancing tourist experiences alongside cultural preservation. |
