ABSTRAK

Sebagai sebuah pusat pentadbiran negara, potensinya menjadi sebuah destinasi pelancongan yang terkenal sangatlah besar. Dengan persekitaran bandar yang kondusif dan perkhidmatan yang berkualiti tinggi serta makna simbolik dalam agenda nasional dan antarabangsa, membuatkan pusat pentadbiran negara tersebut mempunyai imej tersendiri dalam jaringan destinasi pelancongan. Artikel ini mengenal pasti imej Pusat Pentadbiran Persekutuan Putrajaya dalam konteks destinasi pelancongan di arena kebangsaan dan antarabangsa. Berdasarkan kaji selidik ke atas 250 pelancong tempatan dan antarabangsa, imej pelancongan Putrajaya dapat dikenalpasti. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa walaupun imej keseluruhan Putrajaya daripada kaca mata pelancong domestik dan antarabangsa adalah tinggi, namun rank beberapa aspek imej pelancongan adalah berbeza. Pelancong domestik menilai imej Putrajaya pada aras tinggi sebelum dan selepas lawatan, bertenaga, mampan dan global. Nilai untuk wang bagaimanapun adalah rendah. Sementara itu, pelancong antarabangsa pula menilai imej Putrajaya sebagai tinggi untuk imej sebelum dan selepas lawatan, kualiti perkhidmatan, destinasi global dan mampan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa mempromosikan ikon bandar pentadbiran bagi membentuk imej pelancongan kepada kedua-dua pelancong domestik dan antarabangsa masih memerlukan usaha bersepadu daripada pelbagai pembekal pelancongan.
