The sample was 400 tourists chosen through accidental sampling; a questionnaire was distributed to them to collect the data. The results were analyzed through a statistical computer program that consists of factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmation factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. Research results in structural equation modeling show that there are two factors: cultural heritage value and gastronomy components, which will influence the cultural identities in Phuket Old Town, Thailand.
