Abstract
Tourism in the contemporary world holds significant importance in various dimensions and has garnered the attention of different governments, including Islamic countries. The correct classification and explanation of the definition and types of tourism from an Islamic perspective are highly important for adopting strategies in an Islamic country like Iran, as well as for influencing decision-making and the purpose of a tourist's journey. In the present study, the issue of types of tourism from the perspective of Islamic sources and the viewpoint of Islam regarding each of them is examined as a prerequisite for the development of halal tourism. This research uses the inductive approach in religious texts and has an analytical and descriptive nature, which will refer to some of its findings and results. The Islamic faith holds great value for tourism that is aligned with lofty divine and humanitarian goals. The classification of tourism concepts, based on Islamic principles, includes cultural, scientific, commercial, recreational, religious-pilgrimage, and health (medical) tourism. Each of the mentioned categories should be considered in halal tourism development policies as a foundation for strengthening the country's halal tourism brand. This is because the classification based on Islamic guidelines is one of the prerequisites for adopting appropriate policies regarding halal tourism development. In this regard, organizing tours aimed at deepening foundational beliefs is appropriate for the development of halal cultural tourism. Regarding scientific tourism, conducting practical courses for students to advance the frontiers of knowledge is essential. Additionally, for the development of pilgrimage tourism, it is essential to eliminate visa requirements and improve infrastructure and appropriate facilities.
