| description |
While tourist operators claim that their products and services are "halal" or "Muslim friendly",
many do not understand the reason behind the need for Muslims to observe to everything that
is "halal". This article seeks to firstly explain the meaning of "halal" from the basic structure of
the Muslim belief. From there an explanation will be made as to how a particular product and
service is classified as "halal" and how this affects the decisions made by Muslims. Several
issues that arise for Muslims when they travel abroad will be raised. The discussion on these
issues is divided into those that arise out of travelling to an "Islamic" country as opposed to
countries where Muslims are the minority. The article will also address why the tourism industry
needs to cater to Muslim tourists and provide basic guidelines on how this is achieved without
too much difficulty. |
