"Authenticity" is a key concept in tourism sociology and an eternal controversy. In the global post-Fordist era, while tourism is developing from mass group tours to personalization, customization, etc., tourists have also transformed from the pursuit of flashy junk to the pursuit of real and natural experiences.

"Stageization" in the development of tourism industry means that cultural tourism products are regarded as "real" and put on the stage to be displayed to tourists, which is the so-called "cultural commodification".
