description Tourism is a sunrise industry in Malaysia. The extraordinary approach to a tourist destination, the tourist experience itself convertible as the selling point. This applies to the entire remarkable destination around the globe because of its image. Every highbrow tourism provider has the essential objective to bring back tourist to the destination with the less promotional activity which incurs budget. The environmental quality factors are the key attributes in attracting tourists to revisit or to recommend the destination to others. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between environmental quality factors toward intended to revisit intention. A self-administered survey was carried out at the selected airport and in the selected prominent tourist location in the east and west Malaysia.
