Abstract


This article analyses the pattern of family vacation in Malaysia during the British era until late 1960s. A content analysis was utilised to comprehend the family vacation pattern, and several sources of data were derived from historical writings, domestic travelers narratives and tourism researchers pertaining to the families’ recreational activities The findings highlighted the domination of the family vacation patterns and more important, these patterns resemble and imitate the colonial practices. These findings show evidence that tourism activities took place in the earlier part of the domestication of tourism in the country, not as what often mentioned that it was only in the early 1970s that tourism has been emphasized in the Malaysian development senario. It is suggested that the nostalgic strategic tourism promotion be enhanced as an alternative of rejunevating family tourism activities to the country, both to the domestic and international tourists.

Keywords: Urban family vacation; balik kampung; nature-based vacation; aristocratic family; mass family

ABSTRAK

Artikel ini bertujuan menyorot pola percutian famili yang berlaku di Malaysia pada era British sehinggalah pada akhir tahun 1960an. Berdasarkan penelitian kandungan ke atas makalah-makalah yang ditulis oleh sejarawan dan kegiatan perjalanan domestik dalam negara pada ketika itu, dapatan kajian ini menyerlahkan beberapa pola yang menjadi asas kepada kegiatan dan amalan percutian famili. Pola utama yang mengarah kepada kegiatan yang menyerupai amalan pihak kolonial dan meniru percutian famili dari negara maju bukan sesuatu yang baru dalam amalan perjalanan domestik di negara ini. Malah dicadangkan agar strategi pelancongan nostalgia ini dipromosikan dengan lebih hebat lagi sebagai satu alternatif yang memberikan rejunevasi kepada aktiviti percutian famili di negara ini, baik dalam kalangan pelancong tempatan, mahupun pelancong antarabangsa. 

Kata kunci: Percutian famili bandar; balik kampung; percutian berasaskan alam semula jadi; famili aristocrat; famili massa
