İSLAMİ AÇIDAN BOŞ ZAMAN AKTİVİTELERİ; HELÂL TURİZM KAPSAMINDA YENİ FİKİRLER

Abstract

Halal tourism is a type of tourism toward which people with Islamic sensitivities who have shaped their lives according to the commands and prohibitions of Islam have gravitated. While halal activities have experienced substantial increases in recent years , individuals’ consumption habits, consumer behaviors, and sensitivities are different than those of other types of tourists. Nearly all aspects of tourism, including not only the travel industry, but also transportation, tour guide, food and drink, and lodging, have become subjects, even if only to a small degree, of research. When examining the related literature, individuals preferring halal tourism are observed to seek recreation and entertainment as their travel goals. In addition to this, studies conducted on halal hotels’ entertainment and recreation activities have revealed customer complaints related to these specific areas. Just as the increase in variety of entertainment and recreation activities may be an area of interest, so too may this increase contribute not only to an increase in time tourists spend on vacation, but also to an increase in their overall satisfaction from their vacations. Entertainment and recreation activities in Islam have been examined in this study and recommendations for halal tourism related operations and activities have also been presented based on the information collected.
