According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (2003) (WTTC), travel and tourism is the biggest industry in the world on virtually any economic measure, including gross output, value added, capital investment, employee, and tax contribution. Therefore, what is travel? Travel is to move or go from one place to another (Cambridge Dictionaries Online, 2015). A memorable trip that I went is Genting Highlands, Bukit Tinggi and Sungkai. The trip is a family trip. This is a 2 Day 1 night trip. The motivation that motivate we go to travel is because of push and pull factor. Dann (1997) simply explains push factors as the motive that drives a tourist away from home and pull factors as the motives in which drive a tourist towards a destination. Based …show more content…

When we arrival at the hotel, we immediately check-in at the registration counter. After check-in, we straightly go to room to put down our luggage and take a rest at the room. When we are on the way to our room, we found a one special thing, it is a large glass window that allow us to see the beautiful scenery at there and we have took many photo at there. Unfortunately, the photo that we take is not very beautiful because of the reflection of light. On 4 P.M go to restaurant to have our lately lunch. One I memorable and disappointed at the lunch time is when we decide to take lunch at Restaurant Hainan Kitchen but the waiter ask us have the Genting Card or not, if did not we need to wait 30 minute although the restaurant did not have many customer. Therefore, we decided to go to Hao Mei Noodle Restaurant. After took the lunch, we shopping at the First World Plaza. Then, we back to our room to take a bath and rest on 7 P.M. On, 8.30 P.M, we have a dinner at First World Plaza. After the dinner, we went to the Casino. Moreover, the memorable that I will not forgot is I have won the money from the Casino.

We check-out on 10.30 A.M, after we finish our breakfast. Then, we straightly depart from First World Hotel to Chin Swee Caves Temples. This temple is located at the halfway up the hill. We need take five to ten minute drive down from the peak of the mountain. In this temple, there have 16 attraction, it is Pagoda, Chin Swee Temple, 4 General God Temple, Buddha Temple, 8 Fairies, 24 Filial Stories, Laughing Buddha, Buddha Statue, 10 Chambers of Hell, 18 Immortals, waterfall, Guan Yin Statue Holy Water, Bridge of Fairies, Gods of Fuk – Luk – Sau and 9 Colour Dragon Wall of Luck (Chin Swee Caves Temple, n.d.). Something that make me memorable in Chin Swee Caves Temples is the 10 Chambers of Hell. 10 Chambers of Hell is interesting to me because not every temple have 10 Chambers of Hell, and it is my first time to see the 10 Chambers of Hell. The walk up the path is named Journey to Enlightenment because these chambers aim to discourage bad conduct by depicting the painful experiences an evil person would encounter in Hell (Chin Swee Caves Temple (a), n.d.). Besides that, the Buddha Statue and Guan Yin Statue at Chin Swee Caves Temple also make me unforgettable, it is because the Buddha Statue and Guan Yin Statue is very large. I think it is the one of the characteristic of this
