This included presence and accessibility of halal restaurants serving meat that is slaughtered according to the Islamic standard as well as places to offer five time prayers at airports, hotels and shopping malls and other public places.

Crescentrating Chief Executive Fazal Bahardeen stated that

An increasing number of destinations are now keen on tapping into this segment and adapting their services to take into account the unique faith-based needs of Muslim travellers

According to Bahardeen, in a country that is largely composed of Muslims, the country’s Islamic Tourism Centre has been doing very well to educate the tourism industry on how to cater the needs of Muslim travellers. More hotel kitchens are getting halal certification and the number of hotels that are trying to cater the specific needs of Muslim travellers is also on the rise. He mentioned that one hotel has gone to such an extent that they have scheduled separate timings for male and female using gym and swimming pools in order to provided them privacy.
