Our director Hafsa Gaher had the pleasure of speaking recently to British Muslim Magazine about our work at the Halal Travel Network and the world of Halal tourism. The team there were great at framing their questions to bring out the best in the conversation.
The two page article covers:
✨ The different aspects of Halal tourism, looking at the whole picture and not just stopping at food and requirements.
✨ How the travel industry can better serve Muslim travellers through inclusivity while encouraging mutual respect.
✨ The trends and opportunities that are shaping our industry.
✨ and What we at the Halal Travel Network are doing to help to make this happen.

A big thank you to British Muslim Magazine for the opportunity to contribute to this and for organising my thoughts and stories into a coherent narrative.

I hope that this interview sparks more discussion and ideas about the potential of Halal tourism to shape a more inclusive and diverse travel industry and I am excited to be a part of it.
