It is expected that tourism activities will be updated simultaneously in response to changing tourist demands. For example, it can be shown that an accommodation option, the concept of a restaurant or the determination of the itineraries of a tour are shaped according to the needs of the tourists. Environmental factors affecting the demands of tourists can transform tourist behavior into a pursuit of simplicity and a return to the past, instead of environmentalist, nature-based, luxury.

Today, tourism managers emphasize the value of memorable and authentic tourist experiences more than tourist satisfaction to fully express the overall experience tourists deserve (Kim et.al, 2012). In this compilation study, it is aimed to provide information about the perceptions of authenticity in the experiences of tourists. Within the framework of this purpose, it has been tried to reveal the experiences of tourists, the concept of authenticity, the relationship between tourism and authenticity, and what and how tourists descri be as authentic. © 2022, Ebru Bagci.
