Abstract

Halal tourism should ideally be managed according to sharia principles in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is hampered by the absence of special regulations and disharmony of cross-sectoral policies. This research aims to formulate policies that support the sustainable development of halal tourism in Indonesia, as well as identify the regulatory needs underlying the development of the halal industry. This research uses a non-doctrinal method with an empirical juridical approach, through the study of legislation, concepts, and legal philosophy complemented by the results of interviews. The results of the study prove that the empowerment of the halal industry, especially halal tourism, has the potential to encourage the creation of a sustainable economy. The results of this study show that the main problem lies in weak regulations and the lack of integration of cross-sectoral policies. There is an urgent need to build national regulations that regulate halal tourism governance, by clarifying the legal basis and implementation mechanisms. Cross-sector collaboration, strengthening the role of the Regional Committee for Sharia Economics and Finance (KDEKS), central-regional coordination, and optimizing the Indonesia Muslim Travel Index (IMTI) are strategic steps to strengthen this industry. Integrated regulations and synergy between stakeholders can encourage the growth of halal tourism, support sustainability, and strengthen Indonesia as the center of the global sharia economy.
