Abstract Background and Purpose: Tourists from the Islamic world are significant stakeholders in the tourism market. The purpose of this paper is to identify the key aspects of halal tourism in connection with the hotel industry. Furthermore, we want to determine whether hotel managers are familiar with halal certification and on what basis they would opt for it. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research focuses on halal goods, services, and facilities, in general, and specifically in Slovenian hotels; concepts, contemporary trends, and the situation in Slovenia are presented. In response to the literature review, we applied the analysis of the factor loadings to define the important factors that influence the decision-making process; by applying PCA, we reduced the dependent variable to a single factor (although predictions were slightly different). Findings: The most important elements in the adoption of the certificate are the simplicity and efficiency of the procedure itself and the fact that the process does not require major financial investments. The element that significantly influences the managers’ decision-making process is the possibility of adjusting to the standard of the certificate. Conclusion: The paper’s main contribution is to deepen the perspective of the development of tourism in an area that remains a relatively undeveloped and unknown niche within the Slovenian tourism/hospitality industry but very promising in the global context.

摘要背景和目的：来自伊斯兰世界的游客是旅游市场的重要利益相关者。本文的目的是确定与酒店业相关的清真旅游的关键方面。此外，我们想确定酒店管理人员是否熟悉清真认证，以及他们会选择哪种认证基础。设计/方法论/方法：该研究主要针对清真商品，服务和设施，总体而言，尤其是在斯洛文尼亚酒店中；介绍了概念，当代趋势和斯洛文尼亚的局势。为了回应文献综述，我们应用了因素负荷分析来定义影响决策过程的重要因素。通过应用PCA，我们将因变量减少为一个因素（尽管预测略有不同）。调查结果：证书采用中最重要的要素是程序本身的简便性和效率以及该过程不需要大量财务投资的事实。对管理者决策过程有重大影响的因素是调整证书标准的可能性。结论：本文的主要贡献是加深了在斯洛文尼亚旅游/酒店业中相对不发达和未知的利基地区，但在全球范围内非常有前途的旅游业发展的观点。通过证书的最重要要素是程序本身的简单性和效率以及该过程不需要大量财务投资的事实。对管理者决策过程有重大影响的因素是调整证书标准的可能性。结论：本文的主要贡献是加深了在斯洛文尼亚旅游/酒店业中相对不发达和未知的利基地区，但在全球范围内非常有前途的旅游业发展的观点。通过证书的最重要要素是程序本身的简单性和效率以及该过程不需要大量财务投资的事实。对管理者决策过程有重大影响的因素是调整证书标准的可能性。结论：本文的主要贡献是加深了在斯洛文尼亚旅游/酒店业中相对不发达和未知的利基地区，但在全球范围内非常有前途的旅游业发展的观点。
