This article discusses the concepts of halal hospitality and Islamic tourism as explained in The Routledge Handbook of Halal Hospitality and Islamic Tourism (Hall & Prayag, 2020). This review highlights the dynamic relationship between the spiritual values of Islam and the demands of the modern, market-oriented tourism industry. With a multidisciplinary approach, the book demonstrates how halal hospitality has evolved into a global phenomenon that reflects the interplay of religion, economics, politics, and culture. This paper systematically reviews the conceptual aspects, challenges, and future directions for a sustainable and inclusive halal tourism. Halal hospitality and Islamic tourism not only offer economic opportunities but also carry a spiritual mission to uphold the values of justice, balance, and universal humanity.
