Employing semi-structured interviews and participant observation, this study reveals the mechanism of rural residents' identity construction with tourism intervention and specific representations of rural identity changes following IPT's four principles. Results indicate that the developmental changes brought by rural tourism, encompassing space, livelihood, social relationships and culture, impact residents' identities, whose representations display dynamic and complex features. The emergence of a new hybrid identity among rural residents signifies a transformed urban-rural relationship in China.

By adopting a systems thinking approach, this study subsequently developed a holistic multi-actor network, so-called <em>authenticity ecosystem</em>. In this <em>authenticity ecosystem</em>, authenticity in events is posited as a vehicle permeating host destinations to drive social sustainability. Following this, four significant research directions were proposed to advance the authenticity scholarship in events and destination management, thus providing strategic agendas for the future of event and destination management research.

In–depth interviews and observations with 34 Li women reveal five multidimensional empowerments across economic, psychological, sociocultural, political, and familial dimensions through four approaches, namely, Li cultural inheritance, employee participation, employee training, and incentive provision. The analysis is underpinned by elements of empowerment frameworks from feminism and tourism research. These five dimensions are decomposed into the resource-agency-achievement model, which explicitly illustrates dynamic (dis)empowerment.
