Abstract

Filling in a gap in the literature on Halal and Islamic tourism research, this study aims to explore Muslim tourists’ sustainable travel behaviours. Indonesia provides a distinctive research setting, as the country is known as a top Muslim-friendly destination and one of the world’s biggest Muslim countries. The combination of survey questionnaires from 409 respondents and autoethnography to collect data add to the study’s novelty and originality. The findings indicate that Islamic teaching, as reflected in the five principles of Maqasid al-Shariah which include preservation of religion (al-din), life (al-nafs), intellect (al-aqal), posterity (al-nasl), and wealth (al-mal), influence the Muslims’ sustainable practices during travel. This study provides valuable insights for tourism providers and policymakers on the significant role of faith in shaping sustainable travel practices among Muslim tourists
