Abstract

The aspiration of this study is the curiosity about the Malay Muslim community's quality of life after the strike of the tourism industry due to COVID-19 spreading and restriction of movement control in Malaysia. The tourism industry is the most fragile as compared to other sectors. Tourism remains uncertain, and rebuilding depends hardly on government policy and strategies. The island community continues to be one hardest hit by the pandemic because the islands are dependent heavily on the tourism industry. Scientifically, the Malay Muslim community's quality of life and the economic impact primarily affect the community's mental well-being. Data were collected from 307 local community residents in Tioman island using the mediating effect of three subjective well-being domains. The data of the relationship between constant variables was proven using Pearson Correlations. A two-phase process was endorsed the hypothesised model, (1) a confirmatory factor analysis to measure data fit and (2) the structural equation model (SEM). The final stage model comprised one hypothetical latent independent factor, three latent mediator factors and one latent dependent factor (life satisfaction). This study will be useful to tourism organisations in understanding how those factors influence the quality of life. It allows the tourism organisation to implement policy, remuneration, and activities to retain life quality.
