The development of the creative economy in Malaysia as experienced in two different case studies

Cultural, tourism, and creative industries sectors can be understood as having intersecting policy agendas and economic interdependencies. In the developing context the first two have a somewhat longer history of analysis than the last one. However, emerging studies are beginning to emphasise all three domains are interconnected to each other, and need each other to sustain their products in the market. However, the studies are mainly concentrated on Western countries and there are still many aspects of this concept remain unanswered particularly in developing nations for example Malaysia. Data on developing nations is still problematic and considerably limited, or only concentrated in countries such as China and India. To have a better grasp about the underlying key concepts of the development issues on creativity, technology and innovation applied in cultural products in developing nations this study proposed case studies approach to be applied in Malaysia. The creative economy development issues in Malaysia will be the primary focus to be investigated by this research. An electronic research through the Internet on two different case studies in Malaysia had been looked at on their experience in developing their creative economy through a combination between culture, tourism and creativity

Development of creative industries in Malaysia as experienced by Les'Copaque Production. The case study

The creative industries (CI) have become a global idea in the past few years. However, compared to developed countries such as Germany, the US, and the UK developing countries are far behind. Many developing countries in Asia region such as China, Indonesia, and Malaysia followed the CI model from the developed countries with some local contents added to it. Due to the novelty of this topic in most developing countries, data is not readily available in the literature. Thus, this study decided to close the significant gap in the literature by doing a research on the development of CI in Malaysia. At the end of the 20th century the Malaysian government initiated a large scale project to develop the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC). This MSC project is part of Malaysia’s preparation to become a developed country by the year 2020. With the global phenomenon on technology and multimedia for the last decade, Malaysia does not want to be left behind in this transformation. Hence, the government and the private sector have been working closely to develop the creative content industries, and to make the public aware of the importance of this ‘creative’ economy. Since, the concept of CI in Malaysia is still not clear, a case study method is identified as the best method to understand this sector in the country. This study approached Les’Copaque Production (LCP) an animated and 3D movie private company, to examine their experience in developing their CI products and services in Malaysia. Using a case study approach, a better knowledge and comprehension about the development of CI from Malaysia context would be gathered. This paper discusses the findings as well as some of the limitations of the methodology

Role of creativity in enhancing visitors' experience in outdoor recreation activities: a preliminary study

Creativity and innovation are becoming key elements to attract visitors to a destination in this era. These elements will provide a better understanding of the activities that the market player and stakeholders' have to offer that can satisfy the needs and wants from the market. Based on that notion this study was undertaken to examine creativity and innovation elements used by Malaysian outdoor recreation stakeholders and market players for their activities at selected popular tourism destinations. Mixed methods were applied to get an in depth understanding about this topic. Personal interviews with the stakeholders, market players and outdoor recreation users were conducted in the first stage. The results of the initial phase of the study indicate that the outdoor recreation development in Kedah is limited, in Pahang there are areas for improvement while in Selangor, development needs more creative approaches. This study found that outdoor recreation has substantial potential in Kedah, Pahang and Selangor due to their rich natural resources suitable for outdoor recreation activities. However, creativity is still lacking relating to the activities and marketing aspects in outdoor recreation

The Malaysian visiting friends and relatives (VFR) market initiated by the Malaysian students in South Island, New Zealand

In addition to the traditionally dominating countries within the international education market, the United States and the United Kingdom, new providers of educational products and recipients of student‐generated VFR have been emerging over the last decade. Although, historically, the link between international education and the tourism industry has not attracted any significant research attention, recent studies (Cameron and Meade 2002; Kember 2002; Pope, Shanka and Au‐Knight 2002; Isa 2002) have identified the potential role of international students regarding the promotion of their host country as a VFR destination. By investigating the contribution of Malaysian international students towards VFR in New Zealand, this study attempts to facilitate a deeper understanding of the economic and social implications of international student‐generated VFR. Asian countries are reported to contribute the largest number of international students studying abroad. In New Zealand, the number of Asian students and, consequently, Asian VFR tourist has increased significantly in recent years, with Malaysian international students accounting for the largest group in New Zealand. Thus, this study investigates Malaysian students, who were studying in New Zealand in 2003, their families, who had already visited New Zealand and families, who intended to visit the host country. Research was carried out in form of questionnaires and interviews regarding the interaction between study, visitation and intention to visit. Upon analysis of the results, the study finds that there are significant differences among the Malaysian ethnic groups in answering a few questions. Also, closeness to family, relatives and friends appears to be the major reason for the students to host VFR and for their VFR visitors to come and visit them in New Zealand
