| description | This paper discusses the barriers faced by the local authorities in Malaysia
in integrating tourism in their development planning. This study undertook a
quantitative survey. The questionnaires were sending out to 99 local
authorities in Peninsular of Malaysia and 50% respondent rate were
obtained. The findings show that 49 percent of Malaysia’s local authorities
have formulated policies related to tourism development in their area of
jurisdiction. Financial restriction, which is high cost, has been identified as
the major barrier for those LAs in integrating tourism in their development
planning and policy formulation. The findings also revealed that time
constraints and view that tourism activities as not being an important
contributor to their revenue are among the factors that prevent them from
integrating tourism in their development planning. |
