“…It is reflected in a discourse that labels Islamic countries as moderate or traditional/conservative. Malaysia is typically seen as a moderate Islamic country (Henderson, 2003a;Liu & Wall, 2006), a label that may also extend to Indonesia, Tunisia, and Turkey (Henderson, 2008a). Thus, a moderate country appears to be one with a secular state and secular society and with separation of Islam and public life.…”

The study of tourism in the Muslim world can be about religious topics such as hajj and pilgrimage, but it actually means and involves much more. Because religious life and secular life in Islam are closely intertwined, study of its tourism is also partly about its worldview and culture as well as a means of reflecting on Western concepts of travel and hedonistic tourism. This review article introduces selected aspects of Islam to non-Muslims and reviews the tourism literature to identify themes and areas for further research. In addition to scholarly goals, an understanding of the patterns and requirements of the growing numbers of Muslim travellers is of practical importance for the tourism industry.Significantly, the Muslim world provides opportunities for studying differences in policy and development decisions that can offer new insights and inform tourism by providing alternative perspectives.

“…Although, local goals to be reached through tourism might not have been clearly established at first, its continuation as a positive force in the lives of local residents is contingent upon local response, involvement, and support (Liu & A Wall, 2006). And tourism as practiced in developed countries is essentially an economic endeavor, whereas in developing countries it is mainly about leisure consumption as a path to development.…”
