Abstract
This study attempts to determine the image of Pulau Langkawi and subsequently suggest a strategic positioning theme for the island. This study applies the method used by Echtner and Ritchie (1991) to measure image while the strategic position theme is determined based on Crompton, Fakeye and Lue (1992). Factor analysis is the main statistical technique employed in this study. Results of the study show that the ideal strategic theme for Pulau Langkawi is “Family Get-Away”. This theme was chosen after taking into consideration the island’s image based on perceptual data obtained from a sample of domestic tourists residing in the Kelang Valley area. This theme shows a match between the island’s attracting factors (historical, natural beauty, shopping and recreational activities) and motives of domestic tourists which include relaxation and recreational activities.
