Kepulauan Riau’s strategic geographic position, particularly its proximity to Singapore and Malaysia, offers immense potential for the development of Halal tourism and industry within the Blue Economy framework. This research focuses on Pulau Penyengat Island, a historically and culturally significant Islamic site, and examines the challenges and opportunities posed by the maritime border issues in this region. The study employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing interviews with local stakeholders, policymakers, and industry experts, alongside document analysis of regulatory frameworks and regional agreements. Key themes identified include cross-border cooperation, the impact of maritime border disputes on tourism development, and the integration of Halal standards in tourism and industry. Findings indicate that while Pulau Penyengat is poised to become a focal point for Halal tourism, challenges related to maritime boundaries and regulatory inconsistencies with neighboring countries complicate its progress. By addressing these challenges through targeted policies and collaborative frameworks, Kepulauan Riau can capitalize on its strategic location to enhance its Halal industry and contribute to sustainable Blue Economy initiatives. This study provides actionable insights for policymakers seeking to navigate maritime border complexities while promoting economic and cultural growth.
