Abstract

The indications of halal values in the local regulation need to be looked at further on the overall coverage of halal aspects included dress ethics that need to be applied to support halal tourism with local identity and global competitiveness. The Aceh government which has special autonomy under the leadership of the mayor of Sabang, has issued special regulations to support the implementation of ‘good’ and 'halal' tourism. This regulation is stated in Qanun Number 9 of 2019 concerning the Master Plan for Tourism Development of Sabang City for 2019-2027. The stipulation of these regulations clearly indicates the spirit of halal, including the ethics of dress which is a local identity in the management of marine tourism in the city of Sabang which can be seen in many poins of mentioned qanun. Normative research by looking at the scope of government regulations that is presented qualitatively shows the need for the scope of rules or derivative rules from the side of non-muslim tourists in terms of the obligation to comply with local halal norms and ethics, such as etiquette for beachfront dress and supervision. This is because the embodiment of halal tourism in products, governance, facilities, and supervision must support social, ethical, customary and local communities. The preference for halal tourism that has been declared by the government must not prioritize the quantity of tourism but prioritize the quality of halal, wisdom and social culture of the local community.

  • The MPU fatwa above can be used as a guide for the government in implementing halal tourism in a kaffah manner and providing special derivatives for the Sabang city halal tourism regulations. This is because one of the challenges in the development of halal tourism in Sabang City is the absence of regulations/legal coverage that regulate the concept of derivative halal tourism which includes tourism management and regulations for halal tourism visitors

Summary

Introduction

Sharia law in every field, both in the field of muamalat and in the field of worship, aims to bring people to the achievement of a falah life/happiness in the world and the hereafter. The field of muamalah is the dominant aspect of activity carried out in human life. Focused attention in this area is needed in order to create the goals of the Shari'a. Aceh, which is an area that holds the norms and rules of life of Islamic law, is certainly more stressed to practice halal principles in tourism development. The archipelagic area is the main natural marine tourism location which has a great attraction for tourists to visit the area/city. Many islands in Aceh are still isolated from visits by foreign tourists, the city of Sabang has attracted their arrival because it has several islands as attractive destinations. The Qanun that regulates Sabang tourism is Qanun Number 9 of 2019 concerning the Master Plan for Sabang City
