A new trend is emerging in the tourism sector. This is halal travel or halal tourism, a concept offering tourist services in a framework consistent with beliefs and religious convictions. HalalBooking®.com is one of the online platforms offering this type of service. Contacted by Matin.ma, Rebecca Widrig, Marketing Manager of this platform, told us that “the main duty of HalalBooking.com is to list and highlight the halal-friendly services and facilities of an establishment, allowing each customer to search for and select the establishment that best meets their requirements”. And added that “in 2018, we are continuing our double-digit growth trend (100%), which we have observed for the last 5 years. We again recorded twice as many sales in the first half of 2018 (Jan-Jun) compared to the same period in 2017, and we have already exceeded the 2017 annual results. We expect to reach just over 80,000 bookings to Turkey by the end of this year,” she told us.
It should be noted that the demand for this type of tourist service is still much higher than the supply. “Due to increased demand from our current customers, we are expanding our portfolio in Southeast Asia, mainly Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. We already offer more than 100 establishments in these 3 countries. We would like to offer halal-friendly hotels in all countries around the world,” she said.
Regarding Morocco, it is a booming destination whose popularity continues to grow among customers of HalalBooking.com, the first online research and booking platform for travelers concerned about the halal aspect of their vacation.
From October 15 to 19, HalalBooking.com welcomed staff from several travel agencies from around the world, including Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and France, to the ocher city to discover this product. Ufuk Seçgin, Marketing Director of HalalBooking.com said on this occasion that: “Marrakech is a fantastic destination for halal-conscious customers looking for a city break. Morocco is a relatively new destination in the halal-friendly travel sector and we work hand in hand with our hotel partners to offer the services and facilities our guests need. »
