Muslim tourism goes on line

A global B2B platform has launched that connects the tourism industry to Muslim-friendly tour packages, excursions and activities.

The ‘Muslim Travel Warehouse’ will provide packages specifically tailored for Muslim consumers.

According to figures in the MasterCard-CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2015, the halal tourism sector was worth US$145 billion in 2014. This figure is predicted to grow to US$200 billion by 2020. Family travel contributes 52 per cent of the entire total of the halal tourism sector.

The Warehouse initially will offer tour packages to 16 destinations covering Europe, Asia and US. More destinations will be added over the next few months.

It will provide a suite of support services including a live travel trade helpdesk via a live chat service, plus detailed Halal tourism information including fact sheets and digital brochures.
