Reference excerpt

The Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) is a travel index that ranks countries based on their performance in the Muslim travel market. The index is published by CrescentRating in collaboration with MasterCard.

History The Global Muslim Travel Index was started by Fazal Bahardeen in 2011 and is published annually by CrescentRating. In 2017, GMTI covering 130 countries was published with Malaysia as the highest-ranked country in Muslim travel. In the 2018 report, GMTI estimated that there were around 140 million Muslim travelers worldwide. In 2019 GMTI rankings, Indonesia and Malaysia were ranked as the most Muslim travel-friendly countries. In 2021, the ranking was expanded to 140 destinations. The index ranked Malaysia as the top-ranked in the halal travel industry and noted changes in preferences of travelers such as the rise of contactless travel. In 2022, GMTI rankings were published again with Malaysia as the top-ranked country. In June 2023, GMTI 2023 rankings were published with Indonesia and Malaysia tied for first place. In third position was Saudi Arabia, followed by the United Arab Emirates in fourth place. Türkiye was in 5th place.

Methodology The overall index is calculated based on a number of factors including the air connectivity, airport facilities, communication, the number of visitors, halal food options, travel environment, visa, and ease to access a place of worship. In 2021 GMTI, the index also took into consideration factors such as travel corridors and bubbles.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Global Muslim Travel Index

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Global Muslim Travel Index claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Global Muslim Travel Index before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Global Muslim Travel Index ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Global Muslim Travel Index

In research: Global Muslim Travel Index appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Global Muslim Travel Index in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Global Muslim Travel Index is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Index numbers, Islam and society, Mastercard, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Global Muslim Travel Index outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
