Abstract

This study examines the relationship between local food consumption and domestic tourists’ travelling experience. A quantitative research approach was employed through self-administrated questionnaire distribution to 200 Malaysian domestic tourists who have visited Ipoh, Perak, in West Malaysia. Frequency and multiple regression analyses were performed using the SPSS software. Results revealed that local food quality, pricing, access, verities, and historical and cultural values strongly influence Malaysian domestic tourists to consume local food in Ipoh, Perak. The study contributes to the theoretical aspect, particularly tourist behavior within the local food and tourism study. This study advises future researchers perform comparable investigations in various geographical settings.
