Indonesia Moves Up in Global Halal Tourism, Here's the Strategy
Indonesia ranks second as the Most Muslim-Friendly Country Destination this year in the 2026 Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) Awards. This achievement is backed by the acceleration of halal certification for micro and small businesses through the Free Halal Certification Program (SEHATI). The Head of BPJPH, Ahmad Haikal Hasan, stated that the availability of halal food and beverages is a key factor in the competitiveness of Muslim-friendly tourism. So far, 31,617 halal certificates have been issued for micro and small businesses in 1,372 tourist villages across 37 provinces. Collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism strengthens the halal ecosystem from tourist villages to global markets, making Indonesia a world halal economy hub.
