Mapping the UK’s Hajj Sector

Seán McLoughlin of the University of Leeds has launched the UK’s first independent report on the UK Hajj Sector, entitled Mapping the UK’s Hajj Sector: Moving towards communication and consensus.

The report draws on three regional stakeholder consultation events and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including UK tour operators and guides, pilgrim welfare organisations, government officials, trading standards officers, as well as the Civil Aviation Authority. It supports continuing moves towards self-governance through trade associations such as Licensed Hajj Organisers, and commends better communication among all key stakeholders sector-wide.
