The global Halal tourism sector is a billion-dollar opportunity, an emerging market brimming with untapped potential. As one of Vietnam’s leading tourism destinations, Hanoi is wasting no time in tapping into this growing space.

With aspirations to become a locality that successfully develops tourism respectful of Muslim culture and visitor needs, the northern province of Quang Ninh is seeking support, collaboration, and shared efforts to build a thriving Halal tourism sector.

Recognising the great potential of Muslim tourists from the Middle East, the capital city of Hanoi is preparing the necessary conditions to proactively attract this unique market segment.

Halal tourism presents a promising opportunity driven by rising global Muslim travel demand, and while Vietnam is beginning to tap into this market, it still faces challenges in meeting its unique cultural and religious needs.

An international conference on the prospects of Halal tourism development in Hanoi was held in the capital city on April 15.

VOV.VN - The Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Tourism of Saudi Arabia signed an action programme on October 19 aimed at promoting tourism cooperation between the two countries.

Vietnam’s tourism sector is working hard to attract more tourists from Muslim countries (Halal tourists) which is seen as a potential market for the global tourism industry.

The northern province of Quang Ninh has welcomed 28 Indian visitors according to the tradition of Islamism, proving its professionalism in organising Halal tourism activities.
