Abstract
This exploratory study aims to identify the need of generic skills in the tourism industry in Melaka. The subjects consist of 70 front liners, male (N=29) and female (N= 41) who work at recreational and hotel sectors in Melaka. Subjects responded to the Social Inventory for Melaka Tourism Sector (Inventori Kemahiran Sosial Pekerja Pelancongan Melaka). The inventory has a fairly high reliability of 0.85 – 0.88, hence suggesting its pragmatic utility. Findings of the study show that Melaka tourism front liners views the importance of generic skills as follows; ethiques and knowledge (Min= 4.3, SD: .70), personality (Min= 3.9, SD: .68), attire (Min= 3.6, SD: .37) and language (Min= 3.6, SD: .49).
