Abstract

Islamic tourism is one of the tourism segments that has the potential to improve the country’s economy to meet the demand from both domestic and international tourists. Based on 2019 statistics, Malaysia recorded 5.3 million Muslim tourist arrivals with an increase of at least 20 percent for the following year. The coverage of the Islamic tourism segment, which is holistic across the borders of race and religion, added to the wide scope of coverage, including the fields of education, da’wah, religion, art and entertainment, is able to boost the country’s economic performance. Thus, this study aims to analyse the potential of Islamic tourism as one of the segments of the tourism industry that can improve the economy of the local community in particular and the country in general. This study uses a qualitative approach through research on primary and secondary sources. The findings are then analysed inductively to formulate the set objectives of the study. The results of the study found that Islamic tourism plays a role as one of the industrial platforms that can contribute to the improvement of the national economy through attraction resources and tourism policies implemented in Malaysia.
