The Development, Management and Governance of Halal Tourism: Shariah Compliance, Stakeholder Engagement and Digital Integration

The integration of Shariah principles into tourism regulations has emerged as a pivotal concept within the global tourism industry, particularly in Muslim-majority countries.This article explores the interplay between tourism, law and Shariah, focusing on the role of legal frameworks in shaping a Syariah-compliant tourism ecosystem.With the rapid growth of Muslim-friendly tourism, the need for effective regulations has become essential to balance compliance with Islamic values and the demands of international tourism markets.Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this paper highlights the key factors influencing the development of halal tourism, the role of legal structures in Muslim and non-Muslim contexts and the challenges in implementing Shariah-compliant practices.The findings suggest that while Shariah-compliant tourism offers economic opportunities, it also faces challenges in harmonizing religious practices with tourism standards across different regions.
