The theory of consumption values such as functional value, conditional value, social value, emotional value and epistemic value in this study is expelled to have impact on intention to visit green hotel in Malaysia. The findings indicate that emotional value and social value have a positive impact on the purpose of visiting a green hotel. Meanwhile, functional value, conditional value and epistemic value show that there is no positive relationship towards the intention to visit green hotel in Malaysia.
