Abstract

Known as a Cradle of Malay Culture, Kelantan is famous for its distinctive cultural
heritage, natural environments, and unparalleled hospitality of the locals including their
unique foods which have influenced the development of the tourism industry. In relation
to that, Kelantan Tourism Malaysia together with the help of corporate organizations
aggressively promotes Kelantan food products locally and internationally. However, it
raises critical questions of how tourists perceived Kelantan food during their visits. Thus,
this study was to offer an approach to understand the relationships between experiential
marketing, experiential value and tourists’ satisfaction on Kelantan food.
A total of two hundred and eight (208) international tourists’ visited Kota Bharu,
PengkalanChepa and KubangKerian area had participated in this study. Data were
gathered through self-administered survey questionnaires and the results revealed that
experiential marketing (β=.872, p<0.001) and experiential value (β=.853, p<0.001) have
positive relationships with tourists’ satisfaction. In addition, this study also found that
experiential value partially mediated the relationship between experiential marketing and
tourists’ satisfaction. Implication and recommendations for future research are also
provided in this study.
