Study results indicated that the economic and cultural aspects are significant contributors to the impact experienced by the operators in Malaysia at (0.29, t = 2.78, p < 0.00) and (0.86, t = 6.34, p < 0.00), respectively. Generally, the overall impact has positive relationship and affects the development of homestay tourism (0.30, t = 4.45 p < 0.00).
