A new app introduced by Chulalongkorn University’s Halal Science Center is aimed at boosting Thailand’s Halal Industry.

“Halal Route” is an application created to help Muslim travelers from around the world explore Thailand with ease by providing information about Halal tourism services.

According to the university, the app provides reliable, detailed and easy-to-use information. It lists Halal-certified restaurants, nearby mosques and accommodations that offer prayer rooms and Halal food. The app also features a Qibla compass, daily prayer schedules and an Islamic calendar.

The application supports Thai, English and Arabic, making it accessible to both local and international users and is available for free download on both iOS and Android platforms.

Halal tourism has been growing fast in the Southeast Asian region. The global Muslim travel market showed strong recovery in 2023, with nearly 145 million Muslim travelers, reaching about 90% of pre-pandemic levels, according to WebinTravel.
