THE COVID-19 pandemic has not discouraged many people from traveling. The reason is, this pandemic has undeniably made a lot of people stressed, so the need for healing and refreshing is getting higher.
Because the Indonesian people are mostly Muslim, foreign halal tourism is quite sought after. And one of the favorite countries for traveling during this pandemic is Turkey.
This was also expressed by the Managing Director of Hayatun Tour, Diana Sofhya said the reason is because Turkey is most ready to accept Indonesian tourists.
“During the pandemic, the favorite destination on the Hayatun Tour is Turkey. Because the readiest to accept Indonesian tourists are only Turkey,” Diana said in a statement recently.
Moreover, according to Diana, Turkey has imposed visa-free visas for Indonesian tourists. Recently, Turkey has even released visas for Indonesian citizens. For information, Turkey has officially imposed visa-free visas for tourists from Indonesia since December 24, 2021.
Diana further said that the reason people choose halal tourism abroad is because it can ensure that prayer times are maintained and the consumption of halal food is guaranteed during their trip.
Hayatun Tour itself currently has a variety of foreign travel packages, in addition to Umrah and Umrah Plus. These include visiting countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, to America.
“However, what is currently the best-selling package on the Hayatun Tour is the 16D package of Rihlah Civilization Tracing Traces of the Greatness of Islam in Morocco, Spain and Portugal,” he explained.
In three years, Diana revealed that they have sent 15 groups for the program, both open trips and private tours. [sources/photo special]
