Halal tourism is seeing a significant increase as more Muslim travelers seek destinations that can accommodate their religious needs. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicts the global Muslim tourism market will reach around 168 million visitors by 2024, up 5% from pre-Covid-19 levels.

Thailand, with its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes and renowned hospitality, is emerging as a top destination for Muslim travellers. The Southeast Asian country is ranked 32nd in the Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2024, but is it capable of catering to this growing market? Why are Muslim travellers still often “confused” about where to eat and where to pray?

The answer lies in Halal Route, an all-inclusive guide for Muslim travelers looking for Halal-friendly services and experiences.

According to Travel And Tour World magazine, this mobile app serves as a comprehensive guide, providing information on hotels, mosques, prayer guides, tourist attractions, and Halal-certified restaurants.

Integrated with Google Maps, Halal Route provides accurate directions and is available in Thai, English and Arabic. With regular updates and an expanding database, the app now includes around 1,100 restaurants covering more than 40 provinces in Thailand.

The Halal Route has become an essential tool for Muslim travellers, helping them to explore Thailand’s diverse beauty and culture with ease, while supporting the local tourism industry to meet the needs of this growing tourist segment.
