About Tourismeislamique.com
Tourismeislamique.com is an independent information portal dedicated to Islamic tourism, halal tourism, travel suited to Muslim travellers and tourism services that may meet their cultural, dietary and religious preferences.
The purpose of the Site is to explain the different forms of halal tourism and to make it easier to understand the services offered by hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, airlines, cruise operators, campsites and other tourism professionals.
Islamic tourism is not limited to religious travel. It also covers family holidays, beach stays, cultural trips, sightseeing tours, business travel and leisure stays organised with certain Muslim practices in mind.
Travellers' expectations may include, in particular, the availability of halal meals, the absence of alcohol, prayer spaces, privacy, leisure facilities, swimming pools, private beaches, family accommodation or proximity to places of worship.
These features are not necessarily all found in every establishment that uses the terms “halal”, “Muslim-friendly”, “Islamic hotel” or “Muslim tourism”.
Tourismeislamique.com therefore favours an informative approach that helps readers better understand the differences between the services advertised and the services actually provided.

Understanding the different forms of halal tourism
Halal tourism covers tourism services presented as compatible with certain Muslim religious requirements or preferences.
However, there is no universal commercial definition guaranteeing that an establishment meets every expectation of every traveller.
A hotel may offer halal meals without having a separate swimming pool.
An establishment may prohibit alcohol in its common areas while offering other services that do not match the preferences of some guests.
An agency may market a trip presented as halal without every provider involved during the stay holding an independent certification.
Travellers should therefore check the precise features of the services before booking.
Tourismeislamique.com distinguishes, as far as possible, between commercial information, providers' declarations, any certifications mentioned and the contractual conditions that apply.
Editorial independence and transparency
Tourismeislamique.com pursues an independent editorial approach to information.
The publication of an article about a hotel, travel agency, airline, restaurant, cruise, campsite or tourist destination does not mean that this establishment is recommended, approved, certified or commercially linked to the Site.
An editorial mention does not constitute an exhaustive verification of the quality of the services, religious compliance, professional authorisations, safety conditions or the solvency of a provider.
Information on prices, availability, facilities, halal meals, prayer services, opening hours, visas and booking conditions may change.
Readers should check key details directly with the professionals concerned.
Tourismeislamique.com does not guarantee that an establishment will be available, that a booking will be accepted or that the services offered will meet all of the traveller's religious, cultural or personal expectations.
Nature of the services offered
Tourismeislamique.com is an independent editorial information portal.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in respect of an activity actually carried on, the Site does not act as a travel agency, tour organiser, carrier, hotelier, insurer or booking intermediary.
The presentation of a destination or a provider does not constitute a contractual travel offer.
Booking, transport, accommodation and insurance contracts are concluded, where applicable, directly with the professionals concerned.
