Finding Halal Food in South Korea Easier Than Ever

Crave Halal, an iPhone app and website that helps Muslims discover halal food, is now available in South Korea.

Hawzah News Agency (Seoul, South Korea) - Crave Halal aims to increase awareness of halal food for local Muslims and visitors to South Korea, especially the international attendees of 2018 Winter Olympics.

Crave Halal staff directly contacted each restaurant to verify presence of halal meat. With the Crave Halal iPhone app and website, users can: find halal restaurants near them, check halal information, confirm business hours, get accurate directions to the restaurants, post pictures and reviews.

 

The Muslim population in South Korea is small but Muslim tourism to Asia's fourth largest economy is burgeoning. In 2016, almost a million Muslim tourists visited the country.

The government anticipates this number to increase by at least 20% in 2018. Muslim tourists visiting South Korea are predominantly from Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East.

 

International tourism will further propel in 2018 for the highly anticipated 2018 Winter Olympics scheduled to take place from 9 to 25 February 2018 in Pyeongchang County, South Korea. Tens of thousands of Muslim tourists are expected to attend the event.
