Abstract
Purpose
This scholarly paper aims to explore the interconnections between the halal industry and Islamic green finance while also offering valuable insights and recommendations to various stakeholders, such as government bodies, national planning boards, financial institutions and researchers, concerning the realm of Islamic green finance.
Design/methodology/approach
In total, 783 studies have been indexed in Scopus. However, within the field of economics and business, encompassing the period from 2009 to 2022, only 182 documents meet the specified criteria, which use the “halal AND industry” term from the journal source type. This study uses the VoSViewer software to comprehensively map, synthesize and analyze the available data.
Findings
Notably, research endeavors dedicated to the halal industry have shown a consistent upward trend. The research encompasses five prominent thematic areas, specifically halal certification, consumers of halal products, halal food, the halal industry and the halal food industry. The findings also highlight the existence of a relationship between the halal industry and Islamic green finance, suggesting that Islamic financial institutions possess significant potential to attract investor interest in the halal industry through the application of Islamic green finance, a practice already underway in several countries worldwide.
Practical implications
The findings of this study can serve as a valuable reference for the government and national planning board, enabling them to effectively incorporate the advancement of the halal industry in tandem with Islamic green finance as a pertinent means of funding, which holds significant relevance in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. Moreover, finance institutions are presented with a favorable prospect to foster the growth of Islamic financial instruments, thereby bolstering their role in facilitating the development of the halal industry sector.
Originality/value
This scholarly investigation represents the inaugural bibliometric study delving into the intricate dynamics between the halal industry and Islamic green finance. Significantly, it sheds light on the profound correlation existing between these domains, thereby providing substantial evidence to substantiate their interrelatedness.

Abstract
Purpose
Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world and represents a significant global-market opportunity for halal food producers. Surprisingly, halal-food consumption in Indonesia remains under-researched. Thus, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing consumers’ halal-food consumption, using an extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire distributed among 418 consumers in Surabaya, Indonesia. Multiple regression analysis was used to describe the TPB relationship and halal-food consumption.
Findings
This study successfully extended the TPB to include additional predictors: perceived awareness, habit, religious self-identity (RSI), moral obligations and trust to determine consumers’ intention in halal-food consumption. Attitudes, RSI and moral obligations were significant predictors of intention to consume halal food.
Practical implications
The findings can be used by the government and food producers to target specific factors, especially positive attitudes, RSI and moral obligations. Indonesia Ulama Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia), the food industry and the media play a critical role in sustaining consumers’ positive attitude towards halal-food consumption. It is critical for food manufacturers to tailor their marketing strategies and consider promoting Islamic dietary rules when promoting their food products.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first attempts to investigate the determinants of halal-food consumption, using an extended TPB in Indonesia.

Abstract
Purpose
This research aims to identify halal attributes for Indonesian Muslim tourists that can create a destination image, revisit intention and recommendation intention. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world and their Muslim tourists who frequently visit non-Muslim countries. This is a great opportunity for non-Muslim countries to improve halal tourism services.
Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected through a panel of recruited online sampling on 268 Indonesian Muslim tourists who had visited non-Muslim countries. Structural equation modeling analysis is used to investigate the impact of halal tourism attributes on destination images and behavioral intentions.
Findings
This study found the five halal tourism attributes that had a positive and significant impact on affective destination image, overall destination image, revisit intention and recommendation intention.
Practical implications
Halal tourism attributes can be used as a basis for marketing strategies of tourism bureaus to create a destination image, increase intention to revisit and provide effective word-of-mouth recommendations based on Muslim tourists needs.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to analyze the main needs for halal tourism of Indonesian Muslim tourists when traveling to non-Muslim countries. Our study contributes to the halal tourism literature, along with having implications for non-Muslim tourism bureaus and halal tourism teaching and practice.
