COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone’s life around the globe in many different ways. The
pandemic seems to have changed the way individuals and businesses work due to the restrictions
imposed on travel by different countries. Accordingly, Halal tourism (like many other business sectors)
suffered great losses because of the epidemic. Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, two viewpoints
seem to have emerged concerning the crisis among individuals and travelers around the world. Most
individuals perceived COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic and dealt with it according to this view.
However, some others considered COVID-19 an international conspiracy led by major powers to
control the globe economically and politically. The paper aims to offer a theoretical exploration of
these two viewpoints with a view to provide some insights into Halal travellers’ behaviour during
COVID-19 in Muslim-majority countries. The paper offers an attempt to address different impacts of
COVID-19 on Muslim travellers and also on Halal tourism activities. Scholars are encouraged to
investigate this phenomenon with empirical data to gain insights into how to minimize the negative
impact of COVID19 on the Halal industry.
