<p><em>This article discusses halal tourism and its potential map in Indonesia, especially central Java as a tourist area that won the award as the best halal tourism area in Indonesia. Indonesia has good economic prospects as part of the national tourism industry. The tourism industry aims not only to provide material and psychological aspects for tourists themselves, but also to have a contribution in increasing government revenues. Halal tourism is not exclusive, but inclusive for all tourists (Muslims and Non-Muslims). The essence of halal tourism emphasizes sharia principles in tourism management and courteous and friendly service for all tourists and the surrounding environment. Therefore, to realize Indonesia as a mecca for world halal tourism, the development strategy is directed at fulfilling the tourism competitiveness index as its main indicators, including improving infrastructure, promotion, preparing human resources, especially increasing the capacity of tourism business actors.</em> <em>This study uses descriptive analysis method by trying to map the potential of halal tourism owned by Central Java.</em></p>
