Description
Summary:This study aims to assess visitors' perceptions on service quality at the KL International Tatoo Show and determine their motives for participating in the event. The sample comprised of 401 visitors attending the event. A quantitative survey in the form of self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect data. The results showed that the main motive for visitors to visit the KL International Tattoo Show was to have some entertainment. The results also seemed to support that knowledge, sociability, relaxation, entertainment, and prestige were the motivating factors for visitors' participation in the event. The findings of the survey also revealed that majority of respondents were moderately satisfied with all the site features listed in the questionnaire but they were satisfied with the staff appearance, their friendly manner and approachability. Thus, this study portrayed important findings relating to the future planning of the event if it was to be a vital part of tourism promotion, as well as providing some insights that would help tourism managers and marketers to develop specific, tailor-made promotional strategies to target such tourists.
