A study paper which was done on Perhentian Kecil. Where The Working Paper examines the island destination, its changes with the arrival of the first multi-storey resort hotel. It discuss whether Perhentian Kecil is now at the key moment when a destination changes from small-scale backpacker tourism to a different tourism form and, given the fragile island environment, it faces severe challenges if larger scale tourism develops.
Two key factors are examined - the changing planning environment and local entrepreneurs‟ characteristics - that may account for why the island has reached a moment of qualitative change after years of organic ‟ bottom-up incremental growth. Using insights from Resilience Theory the paper argues that this island destination is an example of non-linear change rather than
conventional resort evolution.

Mmm Interesting study that i found while surfing the net about tourism in Terengganu
ABSTRACT Each category of tourism could comprise various products as attractions. The attraction could be based on natural/environment, cultural/heritage or specific component such as food. Local food or cuisines that are unique to an area are one of the distinctive resources that may be used as marketing tools to get more visitors. Thus, this study was segmentation to identify the level of expectations of tourists in Terengganu of food tourism products and to measure the level of travel experience acquired through their early expectations.
This study applied the concept of HOLSAT (Holiday Satisfaction) (Tribe & Snaith, 1998) and described the findings based on a significant level (t-test) on the three aspects of tourist activities, food and tourist attractions. The survey of 400 domestic and international tourists in the state found that there is a difference between the level of initial expectations and actual experiences of visitors of food product. This paper also suggests new strategies to enhance the delivery system of food tourism products in Terengganu. This study is very important in the driving directions to improve the weaknesses and lack of support that may exist in the food tourism sector in Terengganu, it is to encourage more tourists to continue visiting this destination.
