Abstract
Authenticity remains a key driver in tourism studies research related to visit intention and
behavioural outcomes. However, the popularity of replica landmarks amongst Chinese visitors is not wellstudied. This project surveys visitors to a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Macau in order to determine their attitudes to and satisfaction with such a replica. The findings show a high level of positivity towards such replicas among Chinese tourists.
