“…Mass tourism has a general definition as a consumptive activity carried out by a large number of visitors at a destination (Mcfarlane-Morris, 2019). Mass tourism is oriented to the benefits obtained quantitatively, which are in line with the large number of visitors who consume a destination (Rhama and Alam, 2017). The profit orientation limits the relationship between tourism businesses and tourists through infrastructure and minimizes the participation and the needs of the local community (Rhama, 2020a).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify whether halal tourism, as advocated by Mastercard-Crescent Rating guidelines on halal tourism can be considered as supporting sustainable tourism. Design/methodology/approach Three Mastercard-CrescentRating 2019 Reports which are Global Muslim Travel Index, Indonesia Muslim Travel Index and Halal Travel Frontier were evaluated using a qualitative method supports by NVivo software to analyze text and images. Eight indicators (number of tourists, main motivations, main values, interaction with the community, interaction with the environment, most possible destinations, infrastructure and visitor monitorings) are used to classify halal tourism items into mass tourism (traditional, experiential and sensational) and non-mass (alternative) tourism. The qualitative analysis is supported by correlation analysis of GMTI scores with environmental performance index and the global sustainable competitiveness index scores. Findings The results showed that halal tourism has unique characters compared with mass and non-mass tourism types. However, halal tourism advocated by CrescentRating unlikely shows similarity with non-mass tourism. It tends to be traditional mass tourism, especially on the perspective of the type of activity, interactions with the environment and local communities, as well as the main values. Originality/value Previous research suggested the needs of halal tourism and its relations to sustainability. This research fills the gap by showing the halal tourism, in the perspective of Mastercard-CrescentRating is not prioritized toward sustainable tourism by qualitative and quantitative evidences. This study contributes to the knowledge of sustainability from Islamic perspectives and practices and provides a way to the theory of Islamic sustainable tourism. It also suggests improvements to halal tourism guidelines such as the transparency and guarantees that the profit will be used for social welfare, promotion of sustainability using Qur’anic verses and promotion on environmental and social empowerment activities.

“…The concept may be of such economic importance that regions, countries, hotels, and hoteliers specialize themselves for Halal tourism to achieve regional development [51,57,58] while other regions start programs to promote it [59] or study the preconditions for such development in the future [60,61]. Nevertheless, Halal tourism is not limited to a region or a resort but in some cases, it can also be applied for restaurants in the city areas [35] or for a geographically delimited park in a nature tourism [62].…”

The following study is the first Swedish study on Halal tourism in Sweden. The purpose of this exploratory research is to get insight into the perception of Halal tourism in Sweden among representatives of tourism stakeholders. The overall methodology approach in this research is qualitative, consisting of 25 qualitative questionnaires, 21 short letters, four follow-up interviews, and a web observation, and content analysis was employed. The results indicate that there is a low knowledge of Halal tourism in Sweden including Swedish tourism industry. The concept is very challenging, and profits are low. It might result in problem scenarios such as detrimental effects on non-Halal tourism, cultural difficulties and increased risk of xenophobia, anti-Islamism, and tension in the society. There is low interest for Sweden among Muslim tourists as the interest and priority for Halal tourism is rather low from Swedish tourism industry. Despite Halal tourism’s importance internationally, these representatives are rather cautious and doubtful about promotion of Sweden towards this niche. Still, a majority seems to be positive to a lighter version of Muslim-friendly tourism with secular/moderate Muslims as a target group.

“…Because of the rapid progression of the Muslim travel market globally, it was assumed that by 2020 the Global Muslim travelers are expected to increase to 168 million (Addina, Santoso, & Sucipto, 2020) global valuation of the halal travel industry will rise to $233 billion (Rehman, 2019) and that shows the lucrativeness and optimistic sight of Halal Tourism in the world tourism market. Tourist behavior and attitudes and the overall activities of tourist are influenced by the demographic factors of a tourist (Rhama, Doddy, & Alam, 2017) and religious factors are considered one of demographic factors, Halal tourism package is tailored concerning the matter of Muslim traveler needs and demand which includes the Muslim friendly environment, accommodation, food as well as financial activities too (Rehman, 2019). However, with the growth in the emerging tendency of making holidays globally among the Muslim travelers to start exploring the globe due to the potential impacts for Halal tourism have been developed (Asad, Noriah, & Bader, 2016).…”
