Legal Protection on Village-Based Halal Tourism Management through Village Regulations

Abstract

The existence of Madura, with its religious community character and supported by exotic nature and a variety of local religious traditions, is considered worthy of being a center of sharia tourism in East Java. Interestingly, each village in Madura has its uniqueness, the uniqueness of its people, its landscape, and its local products. Therefore, the development of halal tourism based on the village's uniqueness must be the target of policies that need to be developed. However, this development process requires regulation as a form of protection and guarantee of tourism activities, one of them is the formation of village regulations. This study uses empirical legal research methods with legal sociological and legal anthropological approaches. This research investigated the character and uniqueness of the village, which would later be used as the source of village regulation formulation. This effort was made to create appropriate and effective development of village-based halal tourism and minimize rejection from the community. Thus, the realization of establishing Madura as the center of Halal Tourism can be realized immediately.
