Europe Welcomes Indonesian Muslim Travelers in 2025

As 2025 approaches, European Destination Management Companies (DMCs) are increasingly turning their attention toward Indonesian Muslim travelers, a growing demographic within the global tourism sector. With more Indonesians seeking Muslim-friendly travel options, these European tour operators are responding by offering specially tailored itineraries that cater to their unique cultural and religious needs. From halal meals to mosque visits and Bahasa-speaking guides, the focus on providing a seamless travel experience has never been stronger.

At the recent 41st TTC Travel Mart in Jakarta, several European DMCs unveiled their latest customized travel packages specifically designed for Indonesian Muslims. These efforts are not only helping to diversify European tourism offerings but are also strengthening cultural ties between Europe and Indonesia. By crafting travel experiences that incorporate religious and cultural elements, these DMCs aim to provide meaningful trips for travelers while boosting local economies across the continent.

Indoreisen UK: Blending Culture and History

One of the standout companies catering to the Indonesian Muslim market is Indoreisen UK. Led by travel consultant Sutan Nicko, Indoreisen is focused on creating educational and culturally rich travel programs. Their offerings, such as Storynomic, Historinomic, and Panoramic Travel, provide more than just sightseeing—they aim to immerse travelers in the historical and cultural fabric of Europe.

A highlight of their Islamic Heritage and Educational Tour includes visits to significant landmarks like the London Central Mosque, Cambridge Mosque, and Birmingham’s oldest mosque. The program is designed to offer insights into the historical relationship between Islam and the British monarchy, including during the reign of figures like Richard the Lionheart and Queen Victoria. The goal is to encourage open-minded exploration of the Muslim legacy in Europe, blending education with tourism, especially for younger audiences.

My Trip Global: Catering to Senior Muslim Travelers

Another major player in the halal-friendly tourism sector is My Trip Global (MTG). Represented by Sureka Saravanan, MTG specializes in European destinations, focusing particularly on providing tours for senior travelers. MTG’s offerings include halal-certified meals, visits to mosques, and guides who speak Bahasa, ensuring that travelers feel comfortable and well-catered for during their trips.

MTG’s travel packages span all of Europe, from Western Europe to Eastern Europe, as well as destinations in the UK, Switzerland, Italy, and Scandinavia. By working directly with local suppliers for accommodation, transportation, and meals, MTG ensures that their pricing remains competitive, allowing for an affordable yet enriching travel experience. With a growing number of senior Indonesian travelers seeking Muslim-friendly services, MTG is well-positioned to capture this demand, helping to boost European tourism.

Wens Europe: Personalized and Culturally Sensitive Tours

A third company, Wens Europe, led by Iwan Kip, is focusing on creating customized group programs that are specifically designed for the Indonesian Muslim market. Wens Europe works directly with travelers to tailor private tours, leisure trips, and even corporate incentives. For them, the emphasis is on providing an authentic and culturally sensitive travel experience.

The company has forged strong relationships with halal-certified restaurants and Bahasa-speaking guides, ensuring a seamless experience for Indonesian tourists. While the company currently does not have a presence in Indonesia, plans are underway to open an office there, demonstrating their commitment to meeting the needs of Indonesian travelers. Wens Europe is also expanding its offerings to include non-EU destinations like Iceland and Kazakhstan, further diversifying its portfolio for Muslim travelers seeking new experiences.

Boosting European Tourism with Muslim-Friendly Travel

The rise in Muslim-friendly tourism is proving to be a significant factor in boosting tourism across Europe. As Indonesian Muslim travelers increasingly seek culturally appropriate and religiously mindful travel options, European DMCs are stepping up their game. Offering services like halal meals, mosque visits, and local guides ensures that these travelers feel at home and well cared for during their European adventures.

These tailored services are helping to fill a gap in the market, contributing to a rise in tourism from Indonesia to Europe. As more Muslim travelers flock to Europe, they are not only benefiting from customized travel experiences but are also playing a key role in fostering cross-cultural exchanges and mutual understanding. For European DMCs, this growth in demand offers the opportunity to diversify their offerings and expand their reach in the global tourism market.

The ongoing efforts by European DMCs to cater to the Indonesian Muslim market reflect the broader trend of inclusivity in global travel. By meeting the unique needs of Muslim travelers, these companies are not only boosting their own tourism offerings but also contributing to the growth of international tourism overall. With this continued focus on Muslim-friendly travel, Europe is set to become a more inclusive and accessible destination for travelers from around the world.
