Singapore, (IINA) - A new mobile app will help Muslim travellers establish prayer times, locate mosques and find halal food more easily while away from home, according to news24.
Going by the name HalalTrip, the app has integrated the latest available technologies to give Muslim travellers a simple way to find prayer times and locations whether on air, land or sea.
The new feature instantly calculates the prayer times for the current location, the distances for nearby mosques and the time it will take to reach them.
The addition of this feature alongside its existing in-flight prayer calculator means the HalalTrip app now provides Muslim travellers with a seamless experience for all their needs.
Fazal Bahardeen, CEO of HalalTrip & CrescentRating (Leading Authority on Halal/Muslim Travel), said embracing new technology to innovate and enhance the experience of Muslim travellers is a key ongoing focus for the company as the $145 billion Halal tourism sector becomes more sophisticated and smartphone savvy.
According to the latest figures in the “MasterCard-CrescentRating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2015”, the halal tourism sector was worth $145 billion in 2014. This figure is predicted to grow to $200 billion by 2020.
The HalalTrip app brings together a number of key essential travel resources for Muslims, which includes Halal food discovery.
