Comment: The sources are a mix of routine business reporting, interviews and primary sources, none of which contributes towards notability per WP:NCORP. And several sources don't even work – have they been hallucinated by AI? DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:10, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Halalbooking was ranked number 26 in the 2018 Sunday Times Fast Track 100, a league table of the UK's fastest-growing private companies, and number 33 in 2019.[3][4] It was also included in the Financial Times FT 1000, a ranking of Europe's fastest-growing companies.[5]
History
Halalbooking Ltd was incorporated on 3 November 2009. The company previously traded as Crescent Tours before adopting its current name.[6] Under that name, the business was reported on by The Guardian in 2010 in an article on halal holidays in Turkey[7] and by The Economist in 2013, which described it as a London-based online travel specialist.[8]
The company adopted the Halalbooking brand in 2014.[1] The Financial Times covered the platform in 2016 and 2017 in reporting on the growth of halal tourism.[9][10] By 2018, the company had a turnover of £10.1 million and annual sales growth of 90 percent over three years, according to the Sunday Times Fast Track 100.[3] In 2019, The New York Times and The Guardian referenced the platform in coverage of the halal tourism sector.[11][12]
In 2019, the company closed a $2.5 million Series A funding round.[13] In 2025, Salaam Gateway reported a further $5 million investment from Dutch firm Capital Mills.[14]
