Islamic and halal tourism in muslim countries: the case of Iran

Abstract

This study aimed to explore various dimensions of Halal tourism among Muslim countries using the example of Iran. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The data were collected by referring to books, articles, and electronic resources. According to the results, although a statistical study of the current status shows the favourable situation of Muslim countries in the Halal tourism market due to their special geographical location, historical background, and cultural structure, it should not be forgotten that this is not the real position and share of these countries in this market. The tourism industry in general and Halal tourism in particular in these countries is always exposed to internal and external threats, and Iran is no exception as an Islamic destination.
