What is a Halal holiday destination?
A Halal holiday destination is any travel destination that meets all or some of the needs of Muslim travellers.
Additionally, a country may offer greater Muslim-friendly experiences in one region than another.
For example, after living in Thailand for three years, I know that Phuket is way better for halal tourism than Bangkok is. I’ve also discovered that the Maldives is one of the best Muslim countries to visit, hands down!
Whilst the needs of Muslim travellers vary as people have diverse preferences, there’s usually a few requirements that’s common.
What should you expect from a halal holiday destination?
Discover below the three essential needs of halal-conscious travellers when in search of a halal holiday destination.
- Prayer facilities
Easy access to prayer facilities is among the most important requirements for halal vacations. These prayer facilities can come in the form of prayer rooms in locations such as malls, airports and museums.
Although, praying in hotel or Airbnb rooms may suffice for some, the majority of Muslim travellers look forward to experiencing mosques in different countries.
Therefore, destinations with mosques at a short distance from tourist attractions and hotels are always great.
- Halal food
Halal food, maybe the most important of all?
Well, actually it is. According to CrescentRaiting in their recent survey, halal food is the most important requirement for Muslim travellers.
I know that it is for me :).
Finding certified halal restaurants and hotels that serve halal food just makes the trip that much more convenient.
