Halal certified hotels must provide rooms for rituals established by Islamic rules, the mini-bar be empty of all alcoholic beverages, whilst food must be prepared according to Halal standards. 13% of total global tourism comes from Halal tourism, with the sector being financially very strong. In 2010 Halal tourism generated around 90 billion USD and grew 12.3% last year.
