About Halal Travel Network

Our Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between the travel industry and the growing needs of Muslim travellers. By providing expert guidance and innovative solutions that align with Islamic principles and cultural values, we strive to enrich the travel experience for all. We aim to empower destinations to attract and accommodate Muslim travellers, celebrating their successes and maintaining their unique identities.

Our vision is to see Halal tourism recognised as a standard within the global travel industry, with destinations worldwide offering high-quality, culturally sensitive, and religiously compliant services that meet the needs of Muslim travellers. We aspire to be the premier hub for Halal tourism, known for our integrity, expertise, and commitment to excellence.

What is Halal Tourism?

Halal Tourism is a set of guidelines designed to facilitate Muslims being able to travel around the world. As a large and growing proportion of the global population, Muslims have the same love of travel as everyone else. However, there are certain requirements of life as a Muslim (that which is “Halal”) which can sometimes provide barriers to travelling to different countries. Muslim travellers are therefore faced with the option of either avoiding certain destinations, or compromising on practicing their faith and lifestyle. Halal tourism looks to mitigate those barriers and to enable Muslims to follow Halal guidelines while away from home.

There are various elements to consider when catering for Muslim tourists. While attention is often given to aspects such as the provision of Halal food and the certification of restaurants and hotels, there are other important things to consider. At the Halal Travel Network, we work with client destinations to overcome any hurdles and to set out a step by step process to ensure they are ready to cater for Muslim tourists.

By focusing on personal relationships and smaller events, the Halal Travel Network works with clients to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for Muslim travellers. Engaging local businesses and stakeholders through targeted workshops and community events ensures that the development of Halal tourism is collaborative and well-supported. This approach not only builds trust and understanding but also ensures that the benefits of tourism are widely shared within the community and promotes growth in other tourism areas as well.
