Authenticity as one of tourist motivations has become an important topic on the agenda of tourism research during last two decades. However, probably due to its inherent ambiguity in this turning point era of Post-modern society. the concept is not clearly clarified among the involved scholars. Examining the existing knowledge platform, authors devide the concept into two ways: the authenticity of tourist experience and that of toured object. Post modern tourist have become less concerned with the authenticity of the original in terms of toured object. They have inclination toward the temporal playfulness, aesthetic enjoyment of surface, but more sensitive to the environment. They quest for the existential authenticity in touristic experience, i.e. an existential state of being.
