Halal tourismHalal tourism (sometimes called Halal travel or Halal-friendly tourism) is a subcategory of tourism that is geared towards
Muslim families who abide by the rules of Islam.The hotels in such destinations do not serve alcohol, have separate swimming pools and spa
facilities for men and women, serve only Halal foods, and have prayer facilities in-room and in a common hall.The Halal tourism industry
also provides flights where no alcohol or pork products are served, prayer timings are announced, and religious programs are broadcast as
part of entertainment offered on board.Many international hotels in that category do serve Halal food that is slaughtered in accordance with
the teachings of Islamic Sharia and is free of any substances forbidden by Islam such as pork and alcohol
Some hotels have employed people from the Muslim world to provide translation services and other assistance that may be needed by tourists
