“…Halal is a word of Arabic origin and related to Islam which is not only involved to food products. Halal is a concept which includes various products and services offered to Muslims in the sense that they are religiously appropriate or permissible (Tuna, 2016;Samori, Salleh, & Khalid, 2016: 132). The word "halal" in the Turkish Language Association's Current Turkish Dictionary ( 2019) is defined as "anti-haram which is not contrary to the rules of religion and is not prohibited in terms of religion".…”

The number of halal business hotel concept in Turkey in recent years, especially in regions where intensive maritime tourism has been increasing. However, there are no such hotels in the Cappadocia destination. The main purpose of this study is to determine the thoughts of hotel managers in the Cappadocia tourist region on halal tourism and the concept of halal hotels. Using the semi-structured interview technique, open-ended questions were asked by the researchers to the managers of 17 four and five-star hotels with tourism management certificates in the region. The obtained data were subjected to content analysis and interpreted. The main findings obtained from the research are that hotel managers in Cappadocia see "halal tourism" as a rapidly developing market in the world that will become even more important in the future, and there is no need for a halal hotel concept to promote the demand for the region; they did not intend to make arrangements in accordance with the halal hotel concept and obtain halal hotel certification in their businesses. They kept prayer rugs in their hotel upon the requests of the guests, they turned their meeting rooms into masjids when requested; and hotel rooms have a sign showing qibla on nightstand drawers.

Halal tourism has become a business trend in various countries, including Indonesia. Its existence requires the support of various sharia-based financial institutions, such as Islamic banks. However, its role in this industry has not yet been seen in the regions. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role and position of Islamic banks in the development of halal tourism, especially in regions in Indonesia. This research was conducted in Central Java which includes three cities, namely Pekalongan City, Semarang City, and Surakarta City. Two types of data are needed in this study, both primary and secondary. Data were collected through observations at destinations, and interviews with Islamic banks and tourism business actors. Secondary data is collected through the assessment of documents, such as journal articles, books, research reports, and websites. The results of this study show that Islamic banks are an important part of regional halal tourism which acts as a supporting facility in the form of institutions. The role of Islamic banks in the development of halal tourism has not been maximized, because there has not been good cooperation with tourism business actors. However, existing Islamic banks have played an indirect role well for tourism business actors (SMEs) and visitors. The position of Islamic banks in the development of regional halal tourism is as a supporting facility. In the halal tourism ecosystem, Islamic banks are part of the ecosystem. This study implies that halal tourism will develop quickly if it is supported by Islamic banks that play a special role in supporting the implementation of halal tourism.

The study's primary purpose is to reveal the destination image evaluations of Antalya by the tourists staying with the concept of halal tourism with the proposed model. In this context, the study was designed as survey-based quantitative research and was carried out on 660 tourists selected by a simple random sampling method in 6 hotels in Antalya destination. As a result of the structural equation modelling analyses, it was determined that the cognitive images of the tourists staying in hotels with the concept of halal tourism affected tourist satisfaction positively. Their effective images did not significantly impact tourist satisfaction, and that their effective images affected intention to recommend positively while their cognitive images influenced it negatively. Besides, it was found that both cognitive and affective image dimensions did not significantly affect intention to revisit. Furthermore, the results of the analyses indicated that cognitive images of the tourists positively affected their affective images. Tourist satisfaction had a positive impact on their intention to recommend and intention to revisit. According to the research results, it was determined that the cognitive image is a key element for the tourists staying in the halal concept to evaluate Antalya's destination. In this regard, it is evident that public policymakers and hotel managers should formulate their policies and strategies, taking into account the results of the research, as well as implementing policies and practices aimed at increasing the affective evaluations of tourists, which are more important than the cognitive evaluations of tourists in Antalya destination. Finally, it is believed that the study will reveal important practical implications in the context of developing policies and strategies for the managers of the hotels with the concept of halal tourism and for local authorities in the destination and revealing the relationship between destination image, tourist satisfaction and behavioural intentions.
