Two UAE Travel Counsellors have achieved the highly-acclaimed CrescentRating Accreditation, marking the independent travel company’s move into the halal travel arena.
The two home-based travel agents, who are part of Travel Counsellors’ growing UAE network, are Zakiya and Naeem.
Zakiya, who works with some of the most prestigious hotels and Destination Management Companies to tailor-make halal travel packages believes that travel has evolved and so has the Muslim traveller.
“In the past Muslim travellers faced great difficulty travelling around the world and maintaining their Islamic requirements at the same time. Often Muslim travellers were offered inferior accommodation and service, which would spoil the trip and leave the traveller with memories they would rather forget. Today that has changed,” she said.
Zakiya creates a bespoke itinerary that takes travellers’ Muslim-focused values and requirements into account.
Naeem’s extensive travel experience enables him to provide Muslim travellers with reliable and sound advice on many faith-based aspects of travel, such as the availability of halal food and prayer facilities.
“I am proud to be CrescentRating Accredited,” he said. “I’ve worked extremely hard over my years as a Travel Counsellor to build personal relationships with my customers so I can offer an exceptional, bespoke travel service, keeping Islamic requirements and values at the forefront. That’s why my customers come back to me time and time again, for both faith-based and non-faith based travel”.
Travel Counsellors UAE general manager Harvey Lines said: “I am extremely proud of both Zakiya and Naeem for accomplishing the CrescentRating accreditation. With halal travellers expected to spend over US$180bn by 2018, it is critical that Travel Counsellors as a business develops a deep cultural understanding of this growing market segment and having two of our team accredited by CrescentRating demonstrates our commitment to delivering the perfect travel experience and the very highest level of care to our valued Muslim travellers.”
