Authenticity is conceivably uncertain of its actual meaning and can appear to be a vague expression when considered in addition to tourism and how tourists opt to ‘experience the world’ (Haas, 2009). However, the desire of young travellers seeking out meaningful, connected and inspirational experiences surely entitles them to define their own classification of authentic as they search for what they desire and believe to be authentic.
Over all the affluent and well educated generation has been provided with a number of opportunities and has be raised with open-mindedness which has fuelled their desire for the consumption of more culturally diverse, individual, and meaningful travel experiences. In the end each young individual has the chance to shape their experience into their outlook of a fun, flight of the imagination and authentic voyage.
