 Evaluation of visitor reviews and implementation of initiatives to enhance the cave experience: a case study on the Kek Lok Tong Cave in MalaysiaKah Choon Ng, Sui Chai Yap, Dag Øivind Madsen and Anil Kumar International Journal of Business Forecasting and Marketing Intelligence, 2024, vol. 9, issue 1, 103-120 Abstract: Cave temple tourism is the practice of visiting and exploring cave temples. In this paper, a case study of the Kek Lok Tong Cave in Malaysia is conducted in order to explore visitor reviews and based on these comments and secondary data on the safety of the temple, initiating initiatives to improve the cave experience. This study helps to understand the concept of cave tourism in Southeast Asia and provides some insight into the various tourism activities that take place in that region. The findings of the case study highlight the functions and perspectives of visitors to a touristy limestone temple to increase current knowledge and understanding of the protection and management of karst caves. The case study of Kek Lok Tong contributes to the currently small literature on cave temple tourism and is an illustration of cave tourism in Southeast Asia. The study also has practical implications for the local and regional tourism industry on how to manage and develop cave temples.
