What is halal travel, and how inclusive is the tourism industry really when it comes to Muslim travelers?

Erin is joined by Soumaya T. Hamdi to chat about how the Muslim travel market is growing, the barriers are Muslim travelers facing when they travel, and how can the tourism industry address these barriers and create a welcoming, inclusive space.

Guest: Soumaya T. Hamdi is the founder of Halal Travel Guide, an organization she created that curated trips designed with Muslims in mind.
