Penghargaan tersebut merupakan wujud pengakuan dunia internasional terhadap potensi dan pesona pariwisata halal Indonesia. Sedangkan dalam ajang World Halal Tourism Award 2016, Indonesia mendapatkan 12 kategori penghargaan dari 16 kategori. Reputasi tersebut telah menarik wisatawan muslim mancanegara untuk berkunjung ke Indonesia. Menurut data Kementerian Pariwisata tahun 2014 dalam Suherlan (2015), kunjungan wisatawan muslim ke Indonesia mencapai 1.270.437 orang per tahun yang berasal dari Arab Saudi, Bahrain, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapura dan Prancis.
