“…Similarly, Abu-Dhabi, the capital of UAE has promoted its coastal tourism city equipped with a maritime museum of the Louvre Abu-Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu-Dhabi, the Sheikh Zayed National Museums, and a performance arts center as a global tourism destination. The city has also built a cultural district as a truly fantastic cultural tourism center (Hazime, 2011;Henderson, 2017) and it has appeared as a Muslim travel friendliness, halal travel destination, and Muslim shopping destination (Smith et al, 2017). Qatar, on the other hand, in its Tourism Master Plan and National Vision 2030 has set a long-term strategy to position its capital city as political, business, sport, and cultural arenas on the international tourism map (Hazime, 2011;Henderson, 2017).…”

This study aims to explore and analyze the moderating effects of Islamic and cultural tourism objects on the relationship between tsunami-related sites and the image of Banda Aceh city, Indonesia as a tsunami-tourism destination. Of 29.213 tourists who visited the city in 2019, 200 of them were selected as the sample of the study using a simple random sampling technique. The primary data collected through questionnaires and interviews were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM)-based moderated multiple regression techniques. The study documented that tsunami-related sites and Islamic and cultural tourism objects have promoted the image of the city as a tsunami-tourism destination. Additionally, the cultural and Islamic tourism objects strengthened the effect of tsunami-related sites on the city image as a tsunami tourism destination. Thus, to further promote the city image as the tsunami-tourism destination, the tsunami-related sites, Islamic and cultural tourism-related objects must be preserved and enhanced.

Purpose The first problem when diving into this topic is the confusion caused by a number of terms intended to designate the same concept, in addition to the lack of a shared interpretation on what Islam requires from tourism services to secure their acceptability. This paper aims to contribute to the clarification of what halal tourism is, as it seems to be the most appropriate term to refer to practices allowed when travelling, in accordance with the Islamic law. Design/methodology/approach A synthesis of the current situation was carried out, based on the papers contained in Web of Science and Scopus databases. Moreover, a consultation of tourism experts was implemented to extract a number of practical implications for the promotion and development of this segment. Findings As the literature review suggested, halal tourism is a field of study that is still in a very early stage. In spite of this fact and the ambiguity found, halal tourism can be understood as the offer of tourist services designed to meet the needs of Muslim tourists in accordance with their religious obligations. Practical implications It is imperative to offer halal services (food, worship facilities, etc.) to attract this type of tourists. However, the diversity of interpretations has prevented the existence of one single certification. The lack of knowledge on this market is the main obstacle to overcome. Originality/value This paper contributes to clarifying the conceptualization of halal tourism. It takes a theoretical review and experts’ view as a preliminary step to study this topic in more depth.
