Abstract

Progress and the development of tourism (mass) derived from the western materialistic worldview in recent years have brought unfavorable and inappropriate consequences in many areas, but Islamic countries usually face cultural challenges to developing this type of tourism; Therefore, Muslim thinkers can provide solutions to solve this problem, one of which is to provide an alternative model following the recommendations of the Holy Quran. It is intended that in this article, by identifying and categorizing the verses of the Holy Quran, we will provide the best tourism recommendations to tourists and Islamic tourism activists per human nature. This research uses descriptive-analytical and library methods to collect data. Examining the verses of the Quran showed that God mentions four types of travel with the names: 1) travel, 2) tourism, 3) emigration, and 4) pilgrimage, and gives practical advice to tourists and activists by introducing religious models and rational examples. Tourism places; things like choosing a travel guide, practices while traveling, protecting the environment and avoiding extravagance.
