Abstract
The protection of industrial cultural heritage is related to sustainable urban development. Cultural and creative parks (CCPs) are a way for many cities to protect their industrial cultural heritage. In the context of CCPs, this study examines the relationships among the antecedents of exhibition experiential value, CCP experiential value, and behavioral intentions. Surveying 428 visitors in two well-known CCPs in Taipei, this study found that the four antecedents (attractiveness, existential authenticity, self-congruence, and exhibition–park image congruence) have a positive impact on exhibition experiential value. Exhibition experiential value has a positive impact on CCP experiential value, which in turn, affects behavioral intentions toward the CCP. In addition, this study finds that exhibition experiential value has a mediating effect between the four antecedents and CCP experiential value. Moreover, CCP experiential value has a mediating effect between exhibition experiential value and behavioral intentions. The findings of this study provide a direction for CCPs to achieve sustainable development through exhibitions that can attract more tourists.
Highlights
The overall fit of the measurement model indicates that χ2 = 1841.599, where df = 873. χ2/df = 2.109 is less than 3; comparative fit index (CFI), normed fit index (NFI), and incremental fit index (IFI) are all greater than the recommended threshold of 0.90; and with RMSEA less than 0.08, the model has a good fit [62]
This study finds that Cultural and creative parks (CCPs) experiential value has a full mediating effect on exhibition experiential value and behavioral intentions toward the CCP
The findings show that the influence of exhibition attractiveness and self-congruence on CCP experiential value needs to be realized through the mediating role of exhibition experiential value; existential authenticity and exhibition–park image congruence can directly influence CCP experiential value

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. As the post-industrial economy comes of age, how to protect industrial cultural heritage is one of the problems faced by many cities to achieve sustainable development [1]. Many cities worldwide are contemplating retaining existing industrial sites and transforming them into visitor attractions with a brand positioning in culture and creativity [2,3,4,5].
