Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) is a travel index that ranks countries based on their performance in the Muslim travel market.[1][2] The index is published by CrescentRating in collaboration with MasterCard.[3]
History
The ranking was started by Fazal Bahardeen in 2011 and is published annually by CrescentRating.[3][4]
In 2017, GMTI covering 130 countries was published with Malaysia as the highest-ranked country in Muslim travel.[5]
In the 2018 report, GMTI estimated that there were around 140 million Muslim travelers worldwide.[6]
In 2019 GMTI rankings, Indonesia and Malaysia were ranked as the most Muslim travel-friendly countries.[7][8]
In 2021, the ranking was expanded to 140 destinations.[9] The index ranked Malaysia as the top-ranked in the halal travel industry and noted changes in preferences of travelers such as the rise of contactless travel.[9]
Methodology
The overall index is calculated based on a number of factors including the air connectivity, airport facilities, communication, the number of visitors, halal food options, travel environment, visa, and ease to access a place of worship.[3][10]
In 2021 GMTI, the index also took into consideration factors such as travel corridors and bubbles.[9]
