“…Commercial homes are distinct from pure commercial hotels in that home element still remains their core appeal (Lynch, 2005). In this sense, they are typically referred to as "para-hotel businesses" or "quasi-hotels" (Slattery, 2002), and can be regarded as being the transitional middle ground between the intimate home setting and pure commercial hotels (Kontogeorgopoulos, et al, 2015). As such, they bear attributes of both private homes and commercial hotels, as demonstrated by: 1) shared use of the residence between guests and hosts; 2) families' participation in shaping the product with informal management system; and 3) lifestyle entrepreneurial motivation intertwined with profit goal 5 (Di Domenico & Lynch, 2007).…”

Such touristic commodification is supposed to exert profound impacts on the authenticity of objects (e.g., culture, lifestyle).…”

“…With the boom of P2P sharing economy platforms (e.g., airbnb), they are gaining popularity among tourists, and thus are bearing prominent industrial role (Tussyadiah, 2015). Conceptually, commercial homes represent the commodification of rural homes, and thus occupy the transitional middle ground between the intimate settings of homes and pure commercial hotels (Kontogeorgopoulos, et al, 2015;Lynch, 2003). Their appeal to tourists is dependent on the authentic and locally embedded hospitality experience (Tussyadiah, 2015;Wang, N., 2007).…”

Commercial homes represent the commodification of a rural home that affects its authenticity. This study uses a quantitative approach to examine the interaction of commodification and perceived authenticity of commercial homes in rural areas. Both commodification and perceived authenticity are treated as multi-dimensional and measurable constructs. Three sets of hypotheses regarding their relationships are tested with a hierarchical dataset comprising 188 commercial home owners and 873 tourists in northern Zhejiang Province, China. Findings from hierarchical linear modeling indicate that commodification of place and labor negatively affects cognitive authenticity, and commodification of hosts' goals negatively affects relational authenticity. In contrast, no significant effects are found on constructive authenticity. A conclusive model is then proposed, and research implications and limitations are discussed.

“…The farm tourism as defined by Frater (1983), is a form of rural or agro-tourism when paying guests stay at the working farms and share farming life. Over recent decades, this type of alternative tourism has highly demanded by tourists who seek novelty and demand interaction with locals and natural environments in the more authentic ways (Kontogeorgopoulos, Churyen, & Duangsaeng, 2015).…”
