This study aimed to measure the tourists' satisfaction in Lake Kenyir, Malaysia from the perception of tourists. The study followed a non-probability convenience sampling technique for the sample selection and interviewed a total of 320 tourists from the study area for primary data collection. Respondents' perception had been studied with 39 statements under seven dimensions of service quality and a generalized linear regression modeling technique was applied to evaluate the respective contribution of the observed dimensions with tourists' satisfaction.

Moreover, communication and environment dimensions do not have a significant contribution to tourists' satisfaction. Various steps should be taken for increasing tourists' satisfaction in Lake Kenyir such as, maintain sustainability and environmental quality, increase facilities, effective marketing
