| Summary: | Vandalism is a challenge towards one place or location in development.
Everyone that is involved in ecotourism industry especially the owner of the
business should take into account on minimising vandalism behaviour at
ecotourism site. This study was conducted to determine the level of
understanding about vandalism from Kiulu Farmstay community point of view
and the direct and indirect effects on their income. The data was collected
qualitatively using semi-structure, face to face interview. A small group of six
villagers were interviewed from the surrounding villages in Kiulu Farmstay.
The finding of this study shows that the locals are aware about the effect of
vandalism as a threat to their income. Besides, male villagers are more aware
about vandalism issues compared to female. This is because most male
became local tourist guide and they have seen the effect of vandalism in Kiulu
Farmstay. However, the finding of this study may have other implications on
other group on practical basis. |
