In the items of authenticity perception, “The buildings are functional in this historic dis-trict,” comes at the top of all items. In the items of behavior intention, “The historic district is my first choice for travelling next time,” has the most counts. 2. Regarding travel motivation, “cultural experience” and “interpersonal relationship” have a greater effect on the authenticity perception and a positive correlation is estab-lished. 3.

Among aspects of the au-thenticity perception, “function” factor is valued higher by the tourists. Key words: historic district, travel motivation, authenticity perception, behavior intention
