“…In order to realize the grand design of "Halal Master Plan" the government established a set of rules to deny tourist behavior, which is incompatible with Islamic teachings, such as consuming alcohol, wearing exposing clothes, do sunbathing in the public area, and banning the provision of non-Halal food in tourist destinations [19].

“…Among Muslims, it is believed that they are closer to God when they travel and that their prayers during the journey are more effective (Timothy & Olsen, 2006;Kovjanic, 2014). In Islam, historically speaking, there were many different types of travel with significant religious roles, which changed and adapted over time (Henderson, 2003). It is especially important to emphasise that the act of travelling in Islam is 'purposeful', with a strong emphasis on the religious impulses: to strengthen the relationship between the broader Muslim community or umma (Ummah, Ummet) and the continuation of the long history of Muslim travels (Henderson, 2003;Kovjanic, 2014); the Muslim religion is a way of life (Boisard, 2002) or life itself (Nasr, 2007).…”

In compliance with sharia law, Muslims place a high value on the tourist experience and rely heavily on the ethical dimension and tradition, which is not always typical for the tourists from the Western world (Sureerat et al, 2015).…”

Background and Purpose:Tourists from the Islamic world are significant stakeholders in the tourism market. The purpose of this paper is to identify the key aspects of halal tourism in connection with the hotel industry. Furthermore, we want to determine whether hotel managers are familiar with halal certification and on what basis they would opt for it. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research focuses on halal goods, services, and facilities, in general, and specifically in Slovenian hotels; concepts, contemporary trends, and the situation in Slovenia are presented. In response to the literature review, we applied the analysis of the factor loadings to define the important factors that influence the decision-making process; by applying PCA, we reduced the dependent variable to a single factor (although predictions were slightly different). Findings:The most important elements in the adoption of the certificate are the simplicity and efficiency of the procedure itself and the fact that the process does not require major financial investments. The element that significantly influences the managers' decision-making process is the possibility of adjusting to the standard of the certificate. Conclusion: The paper's main contribution is to deepen the perspective of the development of tourism in an area that remains a relatively undeveloped and unknown niche within the Slovenian tourism/hospitality industry but very promising in the global context.
