Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the indigenous peoples’ policies of the ruling party on the development of tribal tourism in Malaysia during the different political parties' ruling periods, so as to provide a reference for researchers concerned about tourism policy planning. This study adopts qualitative research methods, through historical research, literature analysis, and interviews for data collection and analysis. After analysis, this study finds that: 1. Indigenous peoples’ policies governed by different political parties mainly focus on the development of tribal economy and have consistency and seriousness. 2. Because the Malaysia Council of Indigenous Peoples in charge of indigenous people civil affairs does not have substantive rights, its main function is to provide consultation and subsidies for various ministries. 3. Due to the lack of professional human resources and assessment mechanisms for the implementation of the policy, most projects lack sustainable development after they are completed.
