Multiculturalism in Japan halal tourism: localizing the concept of halal
ABSTRACT Since 2014, Japan has been developing halal tourism in order to increase the number of tourists. The halal tourism project emphasizes Japan’s need to understand the halal concept in order to provide appropriate facilities. This research discusses how the halal concept as a foreign culture is understood to provide Muslim-friendly facilities and halal products’ guarantee. This study uses mixed methods: data were taken from the halal signifier pictograms in restaurants, collected from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) and Japan Muslim Guide websites. In addition, the data related to several halal products were also taken from the ‘Japan Halal’ Facebook account. The types and the quantity of pictograms used in restaurants that are recommended by JNTO and Japan Muslim Guide were interpreted to discover how the halal concept is understood in Japan using a multiculturalism framework. This study found that the concept of halal is understood through, and has been adapted to, Japanese local values: the acceptance of halal concept as foreign culture in Japan’s halal tourism is carried out through localization of the concept. Localizing the halal concept provides a strong contribution to tourist destination country, in this case, Japan, as a non-Muslim majority country, to be more attractive to the Muslim tourist in terms of the Japan’s ability in providing the halal facilities for the Muslims while also still showing Japan’s characteristic on its culture.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change ( JTCC ) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal. It focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in an increasingly complex global context. JTCC provides a forum for debate against the backdrop of local, regional, national and transnational understandings of identity and difference. Economic restructuring, recognitions of the cultural dimension of biodiversity and sustainable development, contests regarding the positive and negative impact of patterns of tourist behaviour on cultural diversity, and transcultural strivings - all provide an important focus for JTCC . Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple ''ways of being'', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume material culture. JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate by: -Adopting a multidisciplinary approach -Encouraging deep and critical approaches to policy and practice -Embracing an inclusive definition of culture -Focusing on the concept, processes and meanings of change -Encouraging trans-national/transcultural perspectives
