Muslim tourists' İslamic hotel experiences in the context of İslamic culture industry

Along with the changes and transformations in the social structure, the religious life is also reshaped. It is observed that religion is repositioned within the consumer society and has gained a new appearance by moving away from its traditional appearance. The mutual interaction of consumption culture and Islamic religion has brought about some changes in the living and perception of religious values, and has made possible the formation of a new market and a differentiating Islamic consumption culture. Within this new Islamic consumption culture, new forms of consumption have emerged as manifestations of the changing relationship between Islam and capitalism. One of the current examples among these new consumption forms, which can be expressed as Islamic consumption, Islamic fashion and Islamic holidays, is Islamic hotels. This research examines the experiences of Muslim travelers in Islamic hotels. The research has a qualitative design and a systematic compilation method was used. By creating inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 Turkish and 21 English key concepts and 9 databases were searched. As a result of the scanning process, 52 studies were included in the review. The data obtained from the studies were coded, processed and analyzed in the MAXQDA 2022 qualitative data analysis program.
