Abstract

This study discusses the development of the halal market in Japan in terms of the Japanese government's strategy in optimizing its economy as one of the country's revenue solutions. The Japanese government is encouraged to support the halal market by promoting halal tourism and halal industry because of the interest of Muslim tourists from all over the world. Such as the provision of places of worship inside the airport, halal restaurant concept, and various other types of supporting facilities. Various policies that support the increasing tourist visit contributed to stimulate the halal market in the country. The role of government is considered very important in improving a country's economy seen from the theory of Thomas Oatley in regard to state-centered approach.
