Sustainable development in halal tourism industry: The role of innovation and environmental concern

Halal tourism has increased and become a key tourism industry following the COVID-19 pandemic. Although this industry suffered greatly during the pandemic, it has made a promising return after the outbreak ended. Understanding how to sustain the tourism business in this recovering industry is critical.
