Abstract

.

A review of heritage tourism literature
reveals a fundamental tension over the use, function,
and degree of authenticity of historic resources
used for tourism development. Using a case study
approach, this paper explores how stakeholder beliefs
regarding historical authenticity influence the heritage
tourism products, services, and experiences created
for visitors and the value of historical authenticity
to community stakeholders relative to other factors
involved with heritage tourism development. Heritage
tourism stakeholders in Manistee and Ludington,
Michigan consider historic preservation and historical
authenticity to be important components of heritage
tourism development; however, other factors, such as
providing an engaging and entertaining experience,
have resulted in the creation of inauthentic contexts,
stories, and experiences at some sites. Enhanced
development of interpretive services is suggested as
a way to preserve authenticity while also providing a
more engaging experience.

"Primarily defining authenticity as objective reality
based on actual buildings and historical artifacts is
a natural fit with historic preservation efforts. In the
case of Manistee and Ludington, there seems to be
a direct relationship between the success of historic
preservation and heritage tourism development. At the
same time, creating inaccurate stories could actually
have negative impacts on the quality of the visitor
experience and visitors perceptions of the heritage
tourism venue (Hargrove, 1999; McKercher & Du
Cros, 2002). Additional research should focus on the
elements of a fun and engaging experience and the
impact of embroidered or inaccurate stories on visitors
perceptions of experience quality and value, and on
their understanding of the regions history."
