Abstract: The Royal Town is a valuable treasure worthy of preservation. It is because Royal Town tourism encompasses the identity of heritage, traditional culture, tangible and intangible heritage. Royal Town tourism also preserves elements of monuments, artifacts, and historical buildings. This tourism is rapidly and experiencing positive effects through the tourism development in Malaysia. The Royal Town is a unique heritage that symbolizes a sovereign and traditional Malay country. The research aims to describe the scenario and character of the Royal Town as a heritage and tourism product in Malaysia. This study utilizes a review method of articles, referring to secondary data such as journal articles, seminars/conferences, relevant scientific books, and field research. The study results found that the nine Royal Towns in Malaysia have corresponding scenarios and characters, despite differing administrative structures in each state. The main products of the towns highlight their uniqueness, such as ownership of palaces, landscape design, galleries and archives, mosque architectural art, and other characteristics of the Royal Town.Therefore, to develop Royal Town as Royal tourism destinations, support from stakeholders, state leadership, and the community is crucial. It is not only necessary to introduce but also to visit, celebrate, and contribute to the success of Royal Town development as one of Malaysia's tourism products.
