The KHAS Zone
The Halal, Safe, and Healthy Culinary Zone
Other The KHAS Zone
The KHAS Zone (Kuliner Halal, Aman, dan Sehat) is an initiative by Indonesia Travel to support the development of Muslim-friendly tourism destinations across various provinces in Indonesia.
The KHAS Zone makes it easier for you to identify culinary areas that are not only halal-certified but also guided by three core principles:
- Halal, ensuring the halal integrity of both products and preparation processes.
- Safe, through food safety standards and quality control measures.
- Healthy, by implementing hygienic practices and maintaining a well-managed environment.
Beyond guaranteed halal dining, these areas are generally supported by accessible prayer facilities and a family-friendly environment.
Several locations that have implemented the KHAS Zone concept include Solo Square (Central Java), Riau Garden (Riau), and Kampung Ujung (East Nusa Tenggara).
Finding halal food while traveling in Indonesia is increasingly convenient. You can make use of several official and digital channels, including:
- Visiting the Muslim-Friendly Travel section on the official Indonesia Travel website for destination information, KHAS Zone locations, and halal dining recommendations across provinces.
- Looking for areas marked as KHAS Zone (Halal, Safe, and Healthy Culinary Zone) that have been verified as Muslim-friendly dining centers.
- Using digital map applications with keywords such as “halal food” or “halal restaurant near me” to locate nearby options.
- Checking for halal certification labels displayed at restaurants or culinary centers.
- Asking hotel staff or local tourist information centers for trusted recommendations.
Many popular destinations in Indonesia, including Lombok, Aceh, West Sumatra, and several cities across Java and Kalimantan have developed comprehensive and accessible halal culinary ecosystems.
Muslim-friendly travel in Indonesia extends beyond dining experiences. A wide range of supporting facilities and activities enhance your overall journey, including:
- Prayer facilities available at airports, shopping centers, and tourist destinations.
- Muslim-friendly hotels providing qibla direction indicators, prayer mats, and halal dining options.
- Religious and Islamic heritage tourism, such as historic mosques, Islamic centers, and faith-based villages.
- Inclusive cultural activities and community experiences suitable for families.
- Private and serene nature destinations ideal for family travel.
Indonesia continues to strengthen its facilities and services to ensure that your journey remains comfortable while exploring the country’s rich cultural diversity.
