Visitors’ Perception, Putrajaya Wetlands, MalaysiaAbstract
Putrajaya Wetland (PW) is representing the dream of urban living, within its harmonies and refreshing environment; a place for urban people to unwind. However, starting in 2014, the number of visitors started decreasing. Thus, this research is to find out whether or not the attraction attributes, services and facilities provided contribute to the problem. Interviews with the PW management and questionnaire survey to visitors were carried out. The findings show that the attraction attributes, services and facilities at PW are up to date. Hence, it is suggested that there may be other factors causes the decreasing number of visitors to PW.
