“…Halal certification has been a valuable tool for Muslim consumers by providing them with the information they need to make an informed decision, giving industries a marketing tool, establishing the supply and sale of more halal-certified products, stimulating the growth of more halal enterprises, and providing regulatory bodies with a means of enforcing the law. Halal certification ensures Muslims can consume the products per the Shari'ah law (Al-Teinaz et al, 2020;Sulaiman et al, 2019). The Malaysian Halal Certification Programme is separated into nine schemes, and manufacturers or businesses can select the plan they want to utilise based on the kind of product or service they have.…”

“…Thus, halal certification is seen vital, particularly concerning halal tourism as it is viewed as a mechanism that Muslims travellers would depend on especially when visiting new, unfamiliar places during their tour (Suharko et al , 2018). Concerning the responsibility of producing halal certification, individual bodies or agencies are the ones who will take charge (Sulaiman et al , 2019). Many agencies perform halal certification processes such as Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) and Brunei Religious Council, Ministry of Religious Affairs.…”
Purpose
Halal tourism is a subset of tourism activities geared towards Muslim which are aligned with the Islamic principles. As a response to this, many food operators have realised the importance of having a halal certification to establish a better market position. In the context of Indonesia, it is yet to be known what attitudes the food operators have towards halal certification and what attributes characterised those who have obtained the certification. Therefore, this study aims to examine the attributes of food operators and their attitudes towards halal certification in Indonesia.
Design/methodology/approach
A survey and structured interview were conducted on 298 food operators in Bandung, a city in Indonesia, between August and December 2018. Seven hypotheses were proposed and tested to evaluate the association between halal certification and food operators’ attributes and their attitudes towards it.
Findings
The results of the study suggested that food operators who had halal certification can be characterised by the number of branches the businesses have, the knowledge of halal tourism and knowledge on the market segment. However, the age of their business was found not related to halal certification. In terms of attitudes, the study found that performance beliefs, intention to apply and target market segment had associated with halal certification.
Practical implications
The outcomes of the study could provide information to entities and agencies involved in the tourism industry that consider targeting Muslim travellers as their market segment. Halal certification could be an approach to facilitate tourism marketing and consequently increase the performance of food-related business sectors.
Originality/value
This study provides evidence that could lead to a better understanding of the attributes of food operators and their attitudes towards halal certification in the context of Indonesia’s tourism industry.
“…The implementation of halal assurance system is essential in order to ensure the effective and efficient production of halal products and services [5], the key component of which is a halal certification process [6]. Halal certification is the process of certifying products or services to be compliant with the shariah law [7], in terms of permissibility, in addition, in certain cases, to other standards of quality [8], such as health, hygiene, environmental friendliness, and respect for animal welfare. While initially it was enforced on products and services for Muslims' consumption, primarily due to religious requirements, halal certification is now considered a certification standard for quality in general [9].…”
This study sought to map out the institutions and processes of halal certification in Indonesia and Malaysia by investigating the history, procedures, challenges, and opportunities. Data were gathered through interviews with those working in halal certifying related institutions, such as MUI and BPJPH in Indonesia, and JAKIM in Malaysia, in addition to several halal auditors from universities in both countries. A close reading of primary documents issued by halal certification institutions and secondary documents, academic articles, and online resources was conducted to better understand the issues at hand. The results suggest that while historically halal certification in Indonesia and Malaysia came from two different trajectories, the two finally converged in acknowledging the important role of the state and government in terms of Muslim consumer protection in relation to their halal needs. Nonetheless, their differing evolutionary paths, which was partly the function of the relative status of Islam in both, had eventually shaped the character of their halal certification. Originating from an organic civil society movement, halal certification in Indonesia traversed through a more stable and culturally consolidated process, while in Malaysia, it took the political highway with its attendant ups and downs. If Indonesia managed to create "umbrella halal law" overseeing other lesser provisions, Malaysia had to accept the fact that federation had some imprint on its vast array of dispersing halal provisions, if often compensated with some mending for improvement. Finally, the character and size of the population of each contributed to making Indonesia be more inwardlooking and Malaysia outward-looking in their halal certification management.
