“…Elsewhere, Henderson (2015) and Battour and Ismail (2016) have demonstrated that the two concepts (halal tourism and Islamic tourism) are often confused in both conceptual and empirical papers written or published by researchers and academics (Henderson, 2009; Zamani-Farahani and Henderson, 2010; Jafari and Scott, 2014; Stephenson, 2014). This has led both terms to be broadly misunderstood and left definitional ambiguities (Khan and Callanan, 2017; Sen Küpeli et al , 2018; Wingett and Turnbull, 2017). Additionally, many scholars have positioned the concepts of halal tourism and Islamic tourism as interchangeable terminology (Carboni et al , 2014; Razzaq et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The increasing number of tourists in the Muslim world every year has encouraged digital business developers and the Sharia banking industry to integrate halal product and service apps with the Sharia mobile banking system. The fourth wave of the industrial revolution has changed the consumer paradigm, creating a young generation that uses digital service transaction systems in their daily lives. This paper aims to investigate the factors that determine intention to use halal tourism apps amongst Muslim tourists to provide insights promoting the development of halal tourism in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach The research was conducted using an online survey approach. The sample comprised 205 Muslim Millennial and Generation Z travellers. The data collected were analysed using partial least square structural equation modelling. There were three analysis stages: evaluation of the measurement model, assessment of the structural model and hypothesis testing. Findings The findings indicated that trust mediated the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on individual intentions and that halal knowledge positively and significantly impacted individual intentions. In contrast, religiosity was not a significant influence on individual intentions. Originality/value The paper expanded the technology acceptance model by incorporating the key constructs of halal knowledge, religiosity and trust into an integrated research framework; this represented a novel step, especially in the context of halal tourism. The finding that trust mediated the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness fills a gap in previous research, which has rarely included the trust construct in technology acceptance models.

“…Faith-related or religious tourism has become a key type of tourism, aimed at special-interest or alternative travelers. As many researchers indicate, this trend began during the 1990s and its popularity has steadily increased to the point where it now plays a significant role in the tourism industry (Şen Küpeli et al, 2018;Santos, 2003). Drawing on data from the Tourism Association (WRTA), it is evident that close to 300 million people per year visit sacred sites.…”

The research presented in this paper profiles monastery tourists based on memorable tourism experiences, place identity, satisfaction, intention to revisit, and intention to recommend. Subjects of the research were two monasteries (Monastery of Panagia Soumela in Trapezounta Pontos, today Trabzon Turkey, and the new Panagia Soumela, Imathia, Greece) and two monastery complexes (Agio Oros or Holly Mountain and the Meteora). A quantitative research took place via a questionnaire employing a non-probability sampling method and a mixed method data collection technique. The final sample consisted of 780 participants. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, factor, reliability, cluster analysis, and chi-square tests. Three tourist segments that were profiled were extracted namely “the highly MTE achievers and favourable monastery tourists”, “the sufficient MTE attainers and semi-satisfied monastery tourists”, “the no meaning found, negatively positioned monastery tourists”. Marketing communication implications are discussed, aiming at promoting monastery tourism.
