“…The positive impact of souvenir authenticity on behavioral intention has been verified ( Kolar and Zabkar, 2010 ; Fu et al, 2018 ). Anastasiadou and Vettese (2021) reveal how additive manufacturing influences visitors’ perceptions of souvenir authenticity.…”

“…Compared to acquiring other objects, possessing souvenirs helps to maintain memories as well as expressions of individuality and identity ( Decrop and Masset, 2014 ). As a metonymic and metaphoric act, souvenir purchasing is a part of the ritual of tourism, closely connecting with the understanding and stereotypical perceptions of local culture ( Littrell et al, 1993 ; Anastasiadou and Vettese, 2021 ). In order to meet the expanding demand for souvenirs with local features, increasing amounts of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) are developed as souvenirs based on their representativeness and locality ( Soukhathammavonga and Park, 2019 ).…”

“…Commercial, mass-produced ICH is quite common and includes cheap, meaningless, replicated things. Therefore, the concept of authenticity has received attention in the academic literature to address the problem of over-commercialization ( Kolar and Zabkar, 2010 ; Fu et al, 2018 ; Anastasiadou and Vettese, 2021 ). In this study, we use authenticity perception as a moderating variable to test how the impact of symmetry design of ICH souvenirs on tourists’ aesthetic pleasure changes under different circumstances, as well as the mediating effects of typicality perception and novelty perception.…”

The impact of symmetry design of intangible cultural heritage souvenir on tourists’ aesthetic pleasure

Souvenirs play an important role in tourism development. They act not only as mementos, enabling tourists to relive and retain the memory of a particular journey, but also as main income sources for tourism destinations and stakeholders. Many intangible cultural heritages (ICH) have been developed into souvenirs, especially products made by traditional craftsmanship. ICH souvenirs facilitate cultural value that is understandable to tourists, who appreciate the design of the ICH souvenirs and their contributions to a pleasure and memorable journey. Based on the theory of beauty and the preference-for-prototypes theory, this study explored how symmetry design of ICH souvenirs influences tourist’s aesthetic pleasure. As ICH souvenirs development is a commercialization process, and over-commodification would lead to cultures being lost and tourists’ disappointment, the authenticity concept is applied in order to address over-commodification. Thus, this study analyzed the moderating role of tourists’ authenticity perception of ICH souvenirs. Two lab-based between-subjects design experiments were employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Data analysis entailed multiple regression analysis, one-way ANOVA, and two-way ANOVA. The findings showed that symmetry of ICH souvenir design had a positive impact on tourists’ aesthetic pleasure. Under the symmetric-design condition, tourists’ typicality perception of ICH souvenirs positively mediated the main relationship, while under the asymmetric-design condition, tourists’ novelty perception had a negative mediating effect. The moderated mediation effects were in accord with hypotheses to some extent; at a relatively high level of authenticity perception (above mean value), the indirect effect of symmetry on aesthetic pleasure via typicality perception increased as authenticity perception rose; at a relatively low level of authenticity perception (under mean value), the indirect effect of symmetry on aesthetic pleasure via novelty perception declined as authenticity perception rose. This study identified critical factors influencing tourists’ aesthetic pleasure with ICH souvenirs, and it revealed the internal influencing mechanisms and moderating effects under different design conditions. These findings give some insights to ICH practitioners for using souvenir design to improve tourists’ aesthetic pleasure.

“…Mass-produced low-cost souvenirs are often condemned as plastic ''kitsch'' (Lasusa, 2007) because they do not have the inherent history of the original objects they represent, or do not prove the humanism of traditional producers (Anastasiadou & Vettese, 2021), making it difficult to evoke tourists' sense of scarcity. The emergence of dual channels may promote purchasing of such souvenirs.…”

Souvenir shopping has always been a subject of significant tourism research, but the impact of different purchase channels, including the Internet, on tourists’ souvenir purchase behavior has been largely ignored. This study proposes that the dual channel of souvenir purchase positively affects tourists’ purchase intention through the serial mediation of perceived convenience and perceived usefulness, and the offline single channel positively affects tourists’ purchase intention through the serial mediation of perceived scarcity and perceived value. The results also revealed that when the authenticity of souvenirs is low, only the dual-channel path plays a role in the model, it has a positive effect on purchasing intention through perceived convenience and perceived usefulness. Conversely when the authenticity of souvenirs is high only the offline single-channel path works, and perceived convenience and perceived usefulness play a sequential mediating role. Important theoretical contributions and practical implications are offered for souvenir merchants’ marketing and decision-making.
