| Summary: | The present work aims to empirically analyse the halal food purchase intention from the perspective of Spanish consumers. This is considering the fact that even though Spain is a country where Muslims are not the majority, it still has a big potential to become a major halal tourist destination. The collected data were retrieved through a survey of 500 Muslims in various regions of Spain. Structured questionnaires were used to gather information on their purchase intention of halal food products. The research used a quantitative method to analyse 500 respondents to represent the Muslim community in Spain. The results of the present work suggest that religious involvement acts as a moderator on the relationship between presumed influence and purchase intention. However, it does not act as a moderator on the relationship between attitude towards halal and purchase intention. The most possible reason behind this is because Muslim consumers, especially the second or third generation of Muslims in a non-Muslim country such as Spain, do not have the same food-shopping habits as their parents. |
