HALAL travel can be a key growth area for Malaysia, says Muslim tourism guide CrescentRating.

“There are around two billion global Muslims today from at least 13 outbound travel markets. Muslims make up 25% of the world’s population now. By 2030, they’ll be 27% of the world’s population. So if you’re in any business for that matter, not just travel, you can’t ignore this market,” says CrescentRating founder and CEO Fazal Bahardeen.
