1. Read the text about Components of Halal Tourism

Halal tourism is a recent phenomenon in the theory and practice of the global tourism industry. Traditionally, Halal tourism was often associated with Hajj and Umrah only. However, recently there has been an influx of products and services designed purposely to cater to the business and leisure-related segments of Muslim tourists across the globe.

Halal tourism as the term suggests is mainly targeting people with Islamic beliefs in particular, though it could also have a universal appeal even for the non-Muslims due to a multitude of reasons like fair pricing, peace and security, family-friendly environment and hygiene, etc. Halal tourism as a concept has been used with different names like Halal tourism, Shariah Tourism, and Muslim- friendly tourism which are used alternatively.

Particularly, the major components of halal tourism are similar to those of conventional ones like hotels, restaurants, logistics, finance, and travel packages. However, the evaluation of the value of tourism products in the case of halal tourism entails a completely different process due to the requirements of Islam.

These requirements are called Shariah principles and at the simplest level, these principles “prohibit adultery, gambling, consumption of pork and other Haram (forbidden) foods, selling or drinking liquor and dressing inappropriately.” In addition, a typical Muslim is expected to do prayers regularly in clean environments and fast during Ramadan. In Islamic teachings, Muslims are also expected to abstain from unnecessary consumption and indulgence. Concerning the principles, Halal tourism is an alternative to accommodate the needs of Muslim travelers by providing halal services and facilities adequately.

Specifically, there are some major components of Halal tourism, namely:

a. Halal Hotels. Some of the main indicators of an Islamic hotel include no alcohol, gambling, etc. Halal food only, Quran, prayer mats, and arrows indicating exactly the direction of Mecca in every room; Beds and toilets positioned so as not to face the direction of Mecca; Prayer rooms; Conservative staff dress; Islamic funding; Separate recreational facilities for men and women.

b. Halal Transport (Airlines). Major indicators for halal transport include cleanliness, non-alcoholic drinks, and publications that are expectedly coherent with Islam.

c. Halal Food Premises. Foods served in a restaurant have to be totally halal. All animals must be slaughtered properly according to Islamic principles. No alcoholic drinks should be served on the premise.

d. Halal Tour Packages. The content of the tour packages must be based on an Islamic theme. The Islamic tour packages include visits to the mosque, Islamic monuments, and promotions and events during Ramadan.

e. Halal Finance. The financial resources of the hotel, restaurants, travel agencies, and airlines have to be matched with Islamic principles. Generally, Islamic finance requires participation in sharing the profit and loss among all parties involved in this finance enterprise. Islamic finance also strictly prohibits interest.
