The success of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) tourism, especially Lombok in obtaining various halal tourism awards in the last three years should be appreciated. In this study the researcher wanted to know how the impact of halal tourism on the welfare of the community in terms of poverty level and the percentage of the number of unemployed within 5 years (2012-2016). The research method used is quantitative with multiple linear regression analysis method. The results showed that halal tourism had not significantly affected the welfare of the community, but some variables such as the number of tourists coming, the growth of GRDP OF NTB province and the number of existing hotels had a significant influence on the level of poverty and the percentage of the number of unemployed. The higher the number of tourists who come, the amount of regional income rises so that the poverty rate becomes low. The number of tourists has an impact on increasing the number of hotels so that the number of workers is more needed so that the percentage of the number of unemployed decreases.
