Singapore tops non-OIC destinations for Muslim travellers in 2024

Including the OIC destinations, Singapore ranked 9th overall.

Singapore remained the top non-Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) destination for Muslims in 2024, Mastercard and CrescentRating revealed.

In the latest edition of the Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI), Singapore scored 66, up four points from 2023.

Including the OIC destinations, Singapore ranked 9th overall, up two places.

“Singapore consistently leads the rankings throughout these years, underscoring its robust commitment to catering to Muslim travellers through excellent airport facilities, widespread availability of Halal food, and inclusive tourism services,” Mastercard and CrescentRating reported.

“Singapore’s combination of advanced technology, strong, sustainable tourism initiatives, diverse Halal dining options, and unparalleled safety makes it a top destination in the GMTI,” the experts added.

Meanwhile, Singapore also ranked first amongst Muslim women-friendly non-OIC destinations, scoring 81.

“This achievement underscores the consistent efforts to provide a supportive and welcoming environment for Muslim women travellers, instilling confidence in their ability to lead,” the report stated.
