Abstract
This study aims to analyze the implementation of halal tourism policies in South Korea. This policy has recently emerged, which is around 2014 for halal food certification, and 2015 for halal tourism. With the majority of the non-Muslim community, and had received protests from a number of people, South Korea continued to encourage halal tourism policies. At a young age, this policy can be quite successful. Besides that, this research is intended to find out the supporting factors in implementing halal tourism policies, which are reviewed through four policy implementation variables according to George C. Edwards III, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This type of research is descriptive-qualitative. The technique of collecting data uses interviews and documentation. The subject of the interview included relevant institutions, Muslim tourists visiting South Korea, and Korean people. In this study, we will discuss the processes and supporting factors for implementing halal tourism policy in South Korea.
