Short Abstract
This study empirically examines the impact of food sharing on tourists’ interpersonal relationship development, sense of authenticity, and subjective wellbeing using two experimental studies. The two experiments showed that tourist food sharing improves interpersonal relationships, tourist perceptions of experience authenticity, and wellbeing. Two culturally divergent tourist groups were compared: US tourists and Chinese tourists. The results show that U.S. tourists evaluated food sharing higher regarding its impact on authenticity and wellbeing than their Chinese counterparts. this study contributes to the theoretical delineation of conviviality as a phenomenon, with specific reference to the identification of its impacts on tourist experiences.
