Spain - a country synonymous with good food, art and colorful festivals - is amongst the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Visitors to Spain will soon be enraptured by its vibrance and beauty which emanate from every part of the country. A few famous destinations in Spain have been listed below, with details on what each destination can offer to Muslim travellers.

Trips with the family always mean chaos and the undying notion of unpredictability. Having said that, there is obviously no right way of travelling but there is a productive one. In this day and age, the usage of apps and the internet has surpassed extremely popularity and become almost an obsession. There are apps for pretty much anything under the sun and if used efficiently, they can help save time and money.

Family vacations are all about the memories you make and the bonding time you have with the family. Planning one, however, is by all means never easy. The following tips are tried and tested ways of keeping everyone content and delighted.

Select the perfect destination

Everyone wants to travel the world and to explore & experience new places, but when travelling with the family, pick a place you know the whole family will enjoy, and not just one that you will. Planning can be fun, so get the whole family involved. Pick a few destinations and have the whole family vote for their favorite destination.

4. Faith based needs of Halal conscious travellers and the business opportunities it provides

Faith based values and needs are increasingly influential in the purchasing decisions of Muslim consumers. This is already reflected in the choices they make regarding food or conducting financial transactions.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback on my earlier two posts (Part 1 and Part 2). In Part 3 I am going to cover the area that matters most for destinations and travel service providers: numbers.

3. Halal Travel Market growth – the numbers don’t lie

“Numbers don’t lie” may be a cliché, but it is still very true!

During 2007/2008, when we started our plans to launch Crescentrating, it was not really driven by numbers, but more out of a passion to help Muslim travellers make educated choices when they travel. However as we started our journey in 2009 by launching crescentrating.com and our rating system to rate travel services, it was obvious that we needed more than enthusiasm and passion to convince the industry to take note of these travelers.
