抄録

This study theoretically examines the role of popular culture and tourism in the construction of cultural authenticity in contemporary society. As a result of the erosion of traditional values, popular culture and tourism have become decisive factors in the social construction of cultural authenticity. Popular culture creates cultural images, and tourism represents official form of culture. Cultural functions of popular culture and tourism are organically connected. Public awareness of culture is constantly reconstructed through interaction between popular culture and tourism, and it can be considered to be the substance of cultural authenticity in postmodern era.
