Hala Abu Dhabi named World’s Best Halal Tour Operator

Professional conference organizer and destination management company Hala Abu Dhabi, a division of Etihad Airways, was honored as the World’s Best Halal Tour Operator at the inaugural World Halal Travel Awards 2015 Tuesday.

The awards are to honor companies in the Halal tourism sector that demonstrate best practices, service and distinction in travel and tourism brands. 

The awards were the culmination of the three-day World Halal Travel Summit & Exhibition, an event sponsored by the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority.

"We are delighted to receive this award, which reinforces our commitment to the globally-booming Halal tourism market," Mohammed Al Bulooki, Etihad Airways VP, UAE Commercial, said. "But more importantly, it demonstrates our active engagement with our Muslim guests, offering options and high levels of service that will enhance their travel experience."

Hala Abu Dhabi's newest product is Islamic City Stopover, a program offering a variety of four- to- five-star hotels in Abu Dhabi, which cater especially to the needs of Muslim guests when traveling for Hajj or Umrah.
