ABTRACT: Langkawi Island is a historical island renowned for the legend of Mahsuri and the invasion of Siam. As of today, there are some remnants of history which have been revived and developed as tourist attractions including the Mahsuri complex and Field of Burnt Rice. Despite these developments, two important questions are worth considering. First the extent to which historical factors can influence the number of visitors coming to the island. Second, to what extent is the importance of heritage an important factor in tourism? This paper will examine both these questions. It is hoped that this examination will provide indication on the capability of history toward developing heritage tourism.

Key words: heritage tourism, tourism industry, history of Langkawi Island.
