This study aims to identify the attributes of cognitive image based on tourists’ perception of Kilim Karst Geoforest Park located in Langkawi Island, Malaysia. 384 questionnaires were collected at the study site. Data gathered was analysed using descriptive statistics and principle component analysis.
