summary Islam as a lifestyle is, no doubt becomes an obligatory religious requirement of all Muslims. The influence of Islamic principles extends to not only the Muslims country’s administration, social and political, but it also indirectly affects recreation and travel policy. Religion, thus influences the operation of tourism policy-making as well as destination setting and development. Enormous literature was found in discussing the opportunity and needs in developing Islamic hotel, particularly in Islamic countries like Malaysia. However, very few were found on what response it would be from the industry players as well as the government stand and its readiness in term of legislative work towards such implementation.
