“…Apart from discussion of hotel requirements (Ibrahim, 1982), there are few studies of Muslim leisure activities while travelling. Martin and Mason (2004) provide a general examination of leisure in an Islamic context. For Saudi Arabian women, leisure shopping while on holidays is a popular activity (Essoo & Dibb, 2004).…”

The study of tourism in the Muslim world can be about religious topics such as hajj and pilgrimage, but it actually means and involves much more. Because religious life and secular life in Islam are closely intertwined, study of its tourism is also partly about its worldview and culture as well as a means of reflecting on Western concepts of travel and hedonistic tourism. This review article introduces selected aspects of Islam to non-Muslims and reviews the tourism literature to identify themes and areas for further research. In addition to scholarly goals, an understanding of the patterns and requirements of the growing numbers of Muslim travellers is of practical importance for the tourism industry.Significantly, the Muslim world provides opportunities for studying differences in policy and development decisions that can offer new insights and inform tourism by providing alternative perspectives.

“…The constraint is imposed by a prevailing patriarchal ideology that supposedly rests itself on Islamic principles (Alenazy, 2017). Even though Islam supports a positive view of leisure-especially in the form of rest or recreation-the acceptability and normality of a leisure practice is determined by the dominant interpretation of Islam (Martin & Mason, 2004). This means that certain Islamic communities and countries develop different levels of sex segregation when it comes to women's participation in leisure activities-e.g., whereas women's right to drive is not acknowledged in Saudi Arabia, it is appreciated in countries like Iran and Iraq.…”

Middle East women's active participation in resisting against socio-political impositions and constraints has received scant attention in the existing scholarship within the field. Much of the literature is focused on the socially victimized, subjugated and passive state of the female subjects in facing patriarchal authoritarianism and repression. In contrast, this article aims at exploring the subjected women's investment in multifarious acts of resistance through their leisure time and practices. To this end, Foucault's notion of "counter-conduct," a mode of resistance to be governed differently, is used to examine women's leisure activities in Jean P.

“…Indeed, education, as well as affluence, are the distinct factors that influence Muslims to travel abroad. This review, however, exemplifies impecunious people mostly travelling for a religious purpose such as the Hajj rather than another form of leisure travel, whereas for the middle class, international pursuits such as golf, tennis, horse riding and skiing, while travelling home and abroad (for non-religious reasons) is popular [35].…”

Nowadays, Halal tourism has become a popular form of tourism which attracting many countries to capitalize on the Muslim market. However, because of the Islamic law, targeting this market segment may not be the same as targeting the mundane tourism segment. Hence, a cohort of studies suggests that the internet could be a solution to reach this specific tourism market. Furthermore, some studies also suggest that to influence Muslim tourism destination choice, tourism destination organizations should use Islamic Attributes of Destination in their promotion campaigns. This is also the case of Indonesia as the world's biggest Muslim country, which is trying to attract Muslim tourists visit. Nevertheless, the existing studies on halal tourism promotion in Indonesia are still scarce. Adopting the qualitative form of content analysis, this research tries to add to the scant studies on halal tourism destination promotion in Indonesia by examining the content in official websites of DMOs according to the Indonesia's national plan on Halal tourism.
