How authenticity in events fosters social sustainability: Towards an authenticity ecosystem and implications for destination management
Open accessAbstract
This study systematically and critically synthesises how the notion of authenticity has been addressed in the extant events literature to foster social sustainability in host destinations. Studies between 1996 and 2020 were systematically collected and analysed, revealing an observable emphasis on how authentic events can drive and improve social sustainability in destinations. By adopting a systems thinking approach, this study subsequently developed a holistic multi-actor network, so-called authenticity ecosystem. In this authenticity ecosystem, authenticity in events is posited as a vehicle permeating host destinations to drive social sustainability. Following this, four significant research directions were proposed to advance the authenticity scholarship in events and destination management, thus providing strategic agendas for the future of event and destination management research. This study therefore contributes to the understanding of how destination managers can better use authenticity in events to enhance social sustainability in host destinations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
