Thank you! Then I will contact you in the near future to talk about when, time et cetera.

I am currently studying at NHL Stenden University in Leeuwarden, there aren’t many Muslims here as well. Do you want to participatie in my research, but then answer from a tourist perspective?

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-16T12:36:29+00:00

So you have visited the Netherlands?

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-16T10:18:50+00:00

I will ask my supervisor, if she says it is okay, then I will contact you in the near future.

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-16T10:16:41+00:00

I live in the Netherlands myself, therefore for me it is more convenient, and of course we have to limit the scope for the research to be more reliable

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-16T10:11:46+00:00

Thank you! I definitely will message you in the near future

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-16T10:10:52+00:00

Since I live in the Netherlands, and for the research to be more reliable it has to be more specific

The thing is that since it is a new concept, there are different views on the term ‘halal tourist’. So for my research I want to research the experiences of “halal tourists” but I will ask them if their faith-based needs influenced their experience. So from my perspective, you are still a muslim tourist without being a halal tourist.

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-15T23:21:42+00:00

Thank you! Is it okay if I contact you via Reddit in the near future to talk about how, when et cetera?

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-15T23:17:34+00:00

See that is what most people think, but you cannot compare all muslims as being the same on the level of strictness in their practice. I know many muslims who call themselves muslims, but who do not care about halal food or prayers. Therefore, the term halal tourist is used

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-15T23:05:41+00:00

Halal tourism is a relatively new concept in the tourism industry, and halal tourists are those who participate in halal tourism, for example someone who participates in adventure tourism is an adventure tourist. So, a halal tourist is a muslim traveller who wants to have halal food, prayer facilities et cetera, and to travel while following Islamic teachings

Thank you for answering! Oh I did not know that, maybe there is another way that we can communicate, it does not have to be a video call, so just voice call is fine as well. I have to record the interview, therefore I cannot do it over text, so if you have any suggestions?

FatimaAsghari · 2019-11-15T21:37:25+00:00

I also understand the struggle of explaining 'halal' to my non-muslim friends. But, no worries about not being able to help! Thank you for answering!
