Authenticity is a leading concept in tourism studies, but academic understanding of host authenticity is insufficient. Authenticity theories - existentialism, objectivism and constructivism - do not consider host viewpoints in the discussion of authenticity of tour objects, events, and experience of authentic self. By examining the assumptions underpinning authenticity theories, the author proposes three analytic aspects of host authenticity including authentic self, host-guest encounter and cultural tourism setting. Future research needs to reconsider host authenticity in a broader scope. In turn, it contributes to balance market demands and local needs to provide tourism destinations with a sustainable future.
