The purpose of this paper is to identify and explore the role of culinary in the development of halal tourism. Two types of data are needed in this study, namely primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through observation and interviews. Observations were carried out in several culinary centers. Interviews were conducted with five interviewees determined by purposive sampling. The data obtained were analyzed with content analysis and theme analysis to answer research questions. The results of this study show that Pekalongan City is feasible to become a halal tourism destination because the tourism component has met the criteria. The existence of culinary as a tourism amenity has contributed to halal tourism. Furthermore, the existing culinary can be a tourist attraction in itself. Both restaurants and small business actors provide halal guarantees on culinary, provided through certificates and seller guarantees. On the other hand, tourists have a good perception of Pekalongan City's cuisine, both of the variety of food, halal guarantees, and others. However, these conditions must be improved to realize the visit's satisfaction and loyalty. The existence of culinary tourism explicitly needs to be fostered to support halal tourism in Pekalongan City. For this reason, local government policies must issue regulations on culinary as a destination to support halal tourism related to halal assurance.

Pekalongan City is known for its creative city and religious people, which can be a competitive advantage in developing halal tourism destinations. However, having that alone is insufficient; infrastructure readiness is also crucial. This paper seeks to describe public perceptions of Pekalongan City’s readiness to become a halal tourism destination in terms of its infrastructure. Primary data was collected through the random distribution of questionnaires. Using the accidental sampling method, a total of 65 people were selected as a sample. Data was also gathered through interviews with key informants, who were selected using a purposive random sampling method. The criterion is that the informants have visited tourist attractions in Pekalongan City. The secondary data was gathered through a review of books, journal articles, research reports, websites, and other sources pertinent to the research topic. This study reveals that the community has a favorable view of Pekalongan City’s tourism infrastructure in terms of attractions, access, environment, and amenities. From this perception, it is concluded that Pekalongan City deserves to be a halal tourism destination. Although a positive impression is made, there is still room for development in areas like worship facilities, public restrooms, tourist attractions’ safety and comfort, and more. This study recommends that the local government invest in infrastructure to improve tourism services. A successful regional halal tourism industry will produce a tourist-attractive halal industry. Thus, establishing a good halal tourism destination begins with ensuring the location has the necessary infrastructure in place.========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Persepsi tentang Infrastruktur Pariwisata Halal di Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah.

From this study, it was concluded that this City has religious tourism in the form of Islamic traditions and cultures, Islamic festivals, Islamic local wisdom, and distinctive heritage. Of the various attractions of Islamic tourism, it can be an interesting halal tourism attraction. However, only some of them have been packaged into regional tourist products. To increase the number and strengthen regional halal tourism, it is necessary to identify, explore, and package into halal tourism products. The development of regional halal tourism that ignores religious tourism will lose the spirit of halal tourism.
