TAILIEUCHUNG - Ebook Sport and Tourism: Globalization, Mobility and Identity (Part 2)

(BQ) Set to be the an essential text for any student or academic in the field, Sport and Tourism: Globalization, mobility and identity cements and advances previous studies by building upon existing literature, while extending the field by exploring avenues of study that are yet to be comprehensively addressed. The latest collaboration by internationally renowned authors applies new theoretical perspectives for the advancement of sport tourism. | CHAPTER 8 Authentic Experiences One of the fundamental criticisms of tourism is that it leads to pseudo-events that fail to reflect the true culture of a place Boorstin 1964 . This criticism suggests that in the process of catering to visitors tourism operators create packages and foster experiences that corrupt the cultural essence of the attraction. In effect the destination becomes a stage featuring performances by hosts who are removed from their real lives their real homes and their real culture. As a result tourist experiences are diminished. Typically the tourism industry has been blamed for this erosion of authenticity and increasingly the industry itself has identified inauthenticity as an issue. Gilmore and Pine 2007 capture this sentiment with their message that authenticity is what consumers want and by extension what producers should be providing. In this chapter we argue that sport offers unique qualities relative to other types of cultural tourist attractions in terms of facilitating authentic tourist experiences. We do this by positioning sport as a cultural tourist attraction and highlighting the challenges of commodification. The balance of the chapter uses Wang s 1999 2000 framework of authenticity to demonstrate the relevance of sport attractions as agents for authentic tourist experience.
