“…For instance, beliefs of authenticity of crafts have been found to be related to the cultural and historical context which influences tourists' intentions to purchase the craft souvenirs (Yu & Littrell, 2003). These findings reflect the crucial importance that authenticity holds in the cultural tourism experience showing that it is much more than a simplistic idea animating cultural tourism sites (Fawcett & Cormack, 2001). This reinforces the need to investigate deeper into its importance in cultural tourism consumption.…”

This study tested a structural model which investigates the effects of perceived authenticity, motivation, information search behaviour and destination imagery on tourists' behavioural intentions to consume cultural attractions. Data were collected at selected cultural and natural heritage sites in the island of Mauritius (N ¼ 600). The sample was split into two data sets. Structural equation modelling and hierarchical multiple regression were employed to test the hypothesised relationships. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between perceived authenticity and cultural behavioural intentions of tourists. Destination imagery had an influence on tourists' cultural intentions. Information search behaviour was found to exert a negative influence on tourists' cultural intentions while motivation did not have any influence on the latter. Perceived authenticity was seen to exert a moderating effect on the respective relationships between motivation, information search behaviour, destination imagery and cultural behavioural intentions of tourists. The theoretical and managerial implications of the study are discussed.

“…Taylor (2001), Fawcett and Cormack (2001) and Olsen (2002) visit a constant debate in tourism; authenticity. The question of validating what is truth in the seen has fuelled a lengthy discourse between scholars (see Cohen, 1988;MacCannell & Prentice, 1999;McIntosh, 1999;Shackley, 1994).…”

“…Indeed, Le Café Flore has no exhibits to mark its literary and other cultural heritage than the sign denoting the 'histoire de Paris' referred to above. As Fawcett and Cormack (2001) state, literary tourism sites are often developed around the life of an author, however in the case of the two cafés in question, they have a different purpose, that of attracting clients to drink and dine there.…”

Literary tourism is an increasingly important market within the field of cultural and heritage tourism. However, it is under-represented in the literature. Still not enough is known about the motivations and experiences of literary tourists. This paper offers an autoethnographic account of a literary tourist trip to Le Café Les Deux Magots, a place associated with the writers and philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. The paper discusses the motivations for becoming a literary pilgrim, and describes the meaning attached to the place visited. It underscores the desire for connection with place and reflects on how this is achieved.
