The purpose of this study is to explore the shopping preferences among mature tourists. A qualitative research strategy was employed as an attempt to understand the shopping preferences of senior mature tourist visiting Kuching, Sarawak. Thirty informants were interviewed using mall-intercept surveys with in-depth semi-structured interviews. The transcribed interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that most mature tourists prefer going to the mall because of relaxation, enjoyment, and the entertainment activities in the malls. Both international and domestic mature tourists do not differ much in their responses during the interviews. When going to the malls, they prefer to visit the fashion outlets, home furnishings shops, and food outlets, and they also believe the malls should be convenient, have good facilities, and friendly retailers. The results of the study are beneficial to the mall management and tourism related agencies in understanding the needs and demand of the mature tourists.
