Abstract—Amidst the emergence of cultural and creative clusters, this paper examines tourists’ behavioral intentions within creative tourism. Drawing upon The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis, the study investigates the direct impacts of creative experiences, cultural identity, place attachment, and authenticity on tourists’ behavioral intentions. Furthermore, it explores the positive mediating role of tourists’ creative experiences in linking cultural identity, place attachment, authenticity, and behavioral intentions. The findings have significant implications for management, marketing, and business strategies within cultural and creative clusters. They offer valuable insights into optimizing tourists’ experiences and fostering their intention to participate actively in creative tourism activities.


Keywords—creative experience, behavioral intentions, cultural identity, place attachment, authenticity
