Abstract
Malaysia has a fairly prestigious track record, often ranking first in the GMTI every year. Meanwhile, Indonesia is still considered slow in developing halal tourism. This study aims to determine how halal tourism policies and images are applied in Malaysia and Indonesia by using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of this study explain that Malaysia's success in developing halal tourism cannot be separated from the very high support from the government and stakeholders by making policies on halal tourism, thus providing a positive image and being accepted by all parties. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the government has not officially issued a policy on halal tourism. The image of halal tourism in Indonesia is diverse, such as halal tourism getting a positive response and on the other hand there are those who are quite allergic to it. The Indonesian government is expected to be more serious in implementing halal tourism in Indonesia
