Muslim Travel Show 2026 in London

“One of the most resilient, lucrative, and future-proof segments of global travel.”

A Global Industry Entering a “Golden Decade”

The halal tourism sector has become one of the world’s most powerful economic engines—and Britain plays a central role.

According to CrescentRating’s latest Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI):

• The global Muslim travel market is projected to reach $300 billion by 2026, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in global tourism.
• Muslim travellers are expected to exceed 230 million by 2028, up from 160 million pre-COVID.
• Spending by Muslim travellers is forecast to grow faster than global tourism growth rates for the next decade.

Britain remains one of the top non-OIC destinations globally, consistently ranking high for:

• Halal-friendly services
• Muslim-friendly infrastructure
• Connectivity and accessibility

The UK’s own Muslim community—over 4 million strong—contributes billions to the domestic travel and hospitality economy each year. British Muslims are among the most active outbound travellers in Europe, with spending power growing at double-digit annual rates.
