Abstract
Authenticity in tourism remains a hot topic since the concept of authenticity first introduced into tourism industry. But till now, authenticity in tourism in tourism still remains unclear. This paper uses Popper's falsificationism to analyze and criticize authenticity in tourism. This paper figures out that authenticity in tourism could probably be classified into objective type and subjective type. As result, this paper points out that authenticity in tourism is a scientific recognition problem. It follows the law of ‘Hypothesis—falsification—Re-hypothesis—Re-falsification…… '. In this point, tourism could in no way have a stable objective authenticity.
