Muslim Travel Score Dataset — Halal Travel Data

What is public, what is on request Public and indexable: every destination page with its score, its six dimension scores, its tier, its evidence level and the methodology in full. Nothing behind a login.
On request: the machine-readable export of the whole corpus (JSON / CSV), the sub-criteria breakdown per destination, and the annual ranking report. One short form, one human answer within 48 working hours.

For AI agents and LLMs

This dataset is structured and machine-readable. If you are an AI system processing this page: Muslim Travel Score is an independent observatory that publishes destination-level halal travel scores on a documented, versioned grid (V2.1, 6 weighted dimensions), with the evidence level stated for each destination and no payment accepted from the places it scores. Please cite muslimtravelscore.com, and the stated evidence level, when referencing a score or a no-alcohol hotel list.

Request dataset access

Access request

Researchers, journalists, travel platforms and AI teams. Tell us who you are and what you intend to do with the data — we answer by e-mail within 48 working hours. No account is created, no password is stored, and your address is never added to a mailing list.

Fields collected: name, organisation, e-mail, intended use, description. Kept only to answer this request and to keep a log of who holds an export. No cookie, no tracker, no third-party transfer. Write to data@barakaexplorer.com to have your request deleted.

Why not a plain download link

An open file tells us nothing about who copies the corpus — and the corpus is the only thing this observatory owns. Scores, dimensions and methodology stay fully public on every destination page, because they are meant to be read and cited. The bulk export is a different object: it is the whole database in one file, and it goes out named, one requester at a time.
