Pendidikan halal sebagai strategi pengembangan potensi wisata syariah guna menunjang ekonomi kerakyatan

Abstract

Religious tourism is still an interesting issue in Indonesia, but not many people are actively involved in the religious tourism industry despite the large Muslim population. Religious tourism of the grave of Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Tholib Al Alatas in the village of Sapuro Kebulen, Pekalongan City has not been able to have a broad impact economically. The potential for religious tourism in Indonesia is still very open to be developed in order to provide greater benefits to society in general. The grave of Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Tholib Al Alatas in the village of Sapuro Kebulen, Pekalongan City, is one of the religious tours that has great potential in increasing the people's economy. The development of religious tourism can be optimized by developing the Sapuro Mausoleum as part of halal tourism. The research objective is to find out the potential for halal tourism through halal education as a way to support the people's economy. The research method was carried out through observation and interviews with the managers of the Sapuro tomb and the community who are actively involved in religious tourism. In-depth interviews were conducted with key figures in the management of Sapuro's tomb. The results of the research show that the great potential for developing the people's economy can be optimized through the establishment of sharia homestays, halal certification for Pekalongan City's special food, and the creation of souvenirs, as well as a place to display original products for the community around the grave. The benefits of religious tourism are not only felt by managers and traders but also by the community around the tomb of Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Tholib
