Singapore - Muslim travel website

A new website for Muslim travelers that includes a global directory of halal restaurants and dedicated city guides was launched on Wednesday in a bid to capitalize on the growing number of Islamic tourists.

Singapore-based firm Crescentrating said the site, which is called HalalTrip.com, offers a wide range of features for tourists wishing to travel in accordance with the rules of Islam.

“It is the world’s first fully featured travel booking website for Muslim travelers,” Crescentrating chief executive Fazal Bahardeen said.

Spending by Muslim travelers is estimated to reach US$200 billion by 2020, up from US$126 billion in 2011.
