Consumer Ethics and Sustainability in Muslim-Friendly Tourism: Aligning Religious Principles with Global Development Goals

Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of consumer ethics, sustainability, and religious principles in the context of Muslim-friendly tourism (MFT). It examines the growing market for MFT, its alignment with sustainable development goals (SDGs), and the role of consumer ethics in supporting its growth. The study highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity, environmental responsibility, and social inclusivity in creating a welcoming environment for Muslim travelers while contributing to sustainable tourism practices. By analyzing the relationship between MFT and SDGs, this research demonstrates how religious-based tourism can contribute to broader global development objectives.
