The term “halal” originates from Arabic, meaning “permissible” or “lawful” in English. In Islamic teachings, it denotes actions and behaviours deemed permissible, while “haram” signifies forbidden actions. Halal food, as outlined in the Quran, encompasses all permissible foods and beverages, with explicit prohibitions such as pork, carnivorous animals, and food sacrificed to idols. Halal certification is a formal acknowledgment by a reputable organization that a food product, its ingredients, and the production process comply with Islamic dietary laws. Beyond food, halal extends to various aspects of life, including finance, cosmetics, and travel.
Muslim-friendly hospitality and tourism, often synonymous with “halal” practices, are tailored to meet the specific needs of Muslim travellers. These services ensure that hospitality and tourism facilities, products, and services align with Islamic principles. Key components encompass halal certification for food and products, management system certification for hospitality, and rating/accreditation services for businesses in the tourism sector.
Halal or Muslim-friendly hospitality and tourism involve providing services and accommodations that align with the principles of Islam, catering to the specific needs of Muslim travellers. This includes features such as halal food, prayer facilities, separate recreational spaces for men and women, and accommodations that respect Islamic values. Typical halal tourism destinations offer alcohol-free hotels with segregated facilities and exclusively serve halal foods while providing prayer facilities. Additionally, halal tourism may encompass tailored tour packages, halal transportation, and a financing system compliant with Islamic principles to meet the unique requirements of Muslim travellers.
Acquiring these certifications and accreditations enhances an organization’s credibility, providing a competitive edge and attracting a larger Muslim clientele. Ultimately, this leads to increased revenue and a broader customer base. The programs cover essential topics like market readiness, customer service, and a fundamental understanding of serving Muslim travellers. Overall, the goal is to enable the hospitality and tourism industry to effectively cater to the preferences of Muslim travellers, fostering the global growth of halal or Muslim-friendly tourism.
