Halal tourism in Indonesia: Experiences and recommendations for Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates Indonesia's success in developing Halal Tourism and explores applicable lessons for Vietnam’s emerging tourism market. As one of the leading global destinations for Muslim-friendly travel, Indonesia offers a valuable model for integrating Islamic principles into tourism policies, infrastructure, marketing strategies, and community education. Drawing on a qualitative content analysis of academic literature, policy documents, and institutional reports, this study examines Indonesia’s multifaceted approach, including its Halal certification systems, strategic marketing efforts, and public-private partnerships. The findings underscore the gaps in Vietnam’s current readiness for Halal Tourism and propose recommendations to enhance its competitiveness in this growing sector. Adopting Indonesia’s strategic practices, Vietnam can diversify its tourism offerings and position as a welcoming destination for Muslim travellers.
