INTRODUCTION
As one of the world's largest economic sectors, travel & tourism can create jobs, promote exports, and generate prosperity (World Travel & Tourism Council, 2018). As explained by the former Minister of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia Arief Yahya who said it is predicted that in another five years the tourism sector will be a core economy that can donate Indonesia's largest foreign exchange, with a projected value of 20 billion US dollars. If supported infrastructure is continuously upgraded most likely Indonesia's tourism sector become a new mainstay for the country's income (Abidin, 2019). In line with it, Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN) 2015-2019 has made acceleration of tourism growth as one of the strategies of accelerated national economic growth. The government made a plan for tourism development program conducted with various strategies such as tourism promotion development, development with various tourism marketing partners, tourist market development, and the development of tourism imagery. All these strategies are done so that tourism growth goals are achieved. The goal of tourism development is increasing local business in tourism business and the number of local workers certified. In addition to the special interest tour (wisata minat khusus) namely Halal tourism is a strategic target in 2020-2024.
Halal tourism is one of the new phenomena emerging from the growth of the halal industry. When Halalmatters also things considered in the tourism industry, many Muslim and non-Muslim countries are working on the Muslim tourist market by providing tourism products, facilities and infrastructure to meet their needs (Samori, Md Salleh, & Khalid, 2016). The size and scale of Muslim Travel markets are documented by a number of impressive statistics. It is estimated that the number of Muslims will increase to 2.8 billion or 30% of the world population in 2050. The admission of Muslim tourists amounted to 140 billion US dollars (11.6% from global markets) in 2013. It surpassed the United States and China markets, which resulted in 131.3 billion U.S. dollars and 121.8 billion U.S. dollars in the same year. It was projected that Muslim tourists would reach 150 million and spend about 238 billion US dollars in 2020 (Crescentrating & Mastercard, 2015).
Wishnutama as Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (MENPAREKRAF) of the Republic of Indonesia said that he, along with the team of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, will make the tourist areas that residents of the population are not Muslims as Muslim-friendly tourist destinations such as Toba and Bali. Bali Island is still the most popular destination for Middle Eastern tourists visiting Indonesia. "After Bali, other popular destinations include Jakarta, Bandung and Bogor in West Java and, last Lombok," head of travel department and Tourism Promotion for Europe, Middle East, USA and Africa, Rita Sofia, as quoted by news agency Antara in Manama, Bahrain (TheJakartaPost, 2017). Muslim friendly beach facilities are popular with tourists coming from Middle East and North Africa (MENA), especially top tourist, in addition to tours such as cultural & historical, religion site and shopping arcade. Based on the report data of the Global Islamic Economy Summit, the halal travelling spending was recorded turn over USD184 billion in 2017, especially from the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) which is relatively small, but has an average of spending to USD 5,000 per visit (sindonews.com, 2019).
The positive trend is also shown by the arrival of the archipelago tourists who enter the island of Bali. Domestic economy that grows about 5% accompanied by increasing purchasing power of society supporting increasing number of travel and shopping of domestic tourists (Kusnandar, 2019b). Tourists who visit the tourism in the island of Bali come from a variety of classes, groups, tribes, races, and different religions, so that the way to serve tourists and to fulfill the wants and needs of tourists will vary. One group of tourists who have special criteria in fulfilling the needs during the holidays is Muslim tourists. For example, both foreign and domestic Muslim travelers always choose halal food for their consumption as instructed by Allah SWT in holy Quran through QS. Al-Maidah Verse 88 which reads "and eat kosher food again from the things which God has given you, and give to God whom you have faith in him". In 2020 it is predicted that Indonesian Muslims will increase to 263.92 million and increase to 256.82 million in 2050. Thus, the Muslim population of Indonesia is 86.39% of the total population (Kusnandar, 2019a).

LITERATURE REVIEW Halal Friendly Atrribute
Despite the scant knowledge of halalfriendly tourism characteristics in academic literature, there are a few studies that have defined the conceptual meaning of halal tourism (Han, Al-Ansi, Olya, & Kim, 2019). Halal-friendly itself refers to the fulfillment of needs with the requirements or considerations for a Muslim (CrescentRating, 2016). The term 'Muslim-friendly' in tourism industry denotes an attempt to make the tourism experience enjoyable to observant Muslims (Battour, 2018). Religion has influenced the daily activities of Muslims, whether at home or daily life also in the context of traveling, thus Muslims made the choice of various tourist destinations whether the tourism destination has been suited to their needs as a Muslim (Jafari & Scott, 2014). In non-Muslim countries, the special requirements are Muslims in terms of food and drink, daily worship, and travel patterns. Require certain adjustments in tourism offerings for most destinations in non-Muslim countries (Jafari & Scott, 2014).
Muslim traveller behaviour is more complex, which is caused by attachment to the Shari'a of religion. Uncertainty that leads to unexpected behavioral responses from Muslim consumers   (Han et al., 2019). In the study investigating the relationship between the Islamic Attributes of Destination (IAD) to the satisfaction of Muslim tourists. It was discovered that "Islamic morality" was found to be the most important Islamic attribute, indicating that travel agents can choose hotels for Muslims, which are located far away from districts that are not in accordance with the sharia of Islam. Additional implications related to ' halal ', which is found to be the second most important Islamic attribute, can help marketers to satisfy Muslim travelers (Mohamed Battour, 2013). This object of study is the island of Bali where in the previous study located in South Korea and then the age of the respondents who are more specific that is among the generation Z (born 1995 -2015).

Research Type
The research method used in this study is confirmatory. The main objective is to test whether the indicators that have been grouped based on their latent variables (the construction) are consistent in the construction or not. Descriptive analysis is used to examine which of the Halal Friendly Attribute variables are dominant as consumer preferences in non-Muslim tourist destinations on the island of Bali.

Population and Sample
The sampling technique to be used in this study is a non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling. The research took research in Bandung City. The specific consideration or criteria in the sample in this research is Indonesian citizen, a Muslim who has at least once traveled on Bali Island. Based on the criteria that researchers have mentioned earlier, it is not known exactly the number of populations, therefore in this study to determine the large sample will use the unknown population formula. Based on the unknown population formula obtained as many as 100 people.

Data Collection Techniques
Data collection is carried out with two techniques namely field research and library research, primary data obtained through the dissemination of online questionnaire while secondary data used by library studies by studying scientific journals, and research has been conducted in advance to strengthen data about this research. While the field research, researchers will collect data using an online questionnaire through Google form which is done by distributing messages personally to respondents who meet the research criteria through whatssap and line personal message.

Results
Sample collection was conducted in Bandung, with a total sample of 100 respondents. The sample comprised of 67% (67) females and 33% (33) males.

The occupation of respondents was dominated by students or 81%. Average monthly earnings < 1.000.000.00. Most of the Reponden answered recreation as the reason for visit to Bali Island is 86.1%.
Based on the MSA (Measure of Sampling Adequacy) result, the whole indicator of Halal-Friendly Attribute can be analyzed further because each indicator has a value of more than 0.5. Table 3 shows there are 4 (four) factors formed, where the requirement to be a factor of the Eigenvalue should be > 1. The Eigenvalue Component 1 is 7.492 or > 1 and is able to describe 74.92% of variations. The Eigenvalue Component 2 is 1.861 or > 1 and is able to describe 18.61% of variations. The Eigenvalue Component 3 is 1.378 or > 1 and is able to describe 13.78% of the variation and Eigenvalue Component 4 value of 1.049 or > 1 and is able to account for 10.49% of variations. Component values of 5 to 17 are not counted because the Eigenvalue < 1 is not a factor. Source: data processed, 2020 Component Matrix is the result of the rotation process (rotated component matrix) indicates that the previous loading factor has a small value will be minimized and the loading factor that previously had a large value will be enlarged. Here is an explanation of the variables that will be entered into which factors: The Halal-friendly social environment of tourist places is comfort (SC_1), the loading factor that has the greatest value is at a factor of 4 with a value of 0.613.

The first factor consists of Halal food and beverage offered in tourist indicators. These indicators that should be the focus of attention in order to improve the quality of Muslim-friendly tourism on the island of Bali, but does not make other factors ruled out because it takes balance between all facilities and services to the performance of tourism especially halal tourism in the island of Bali can develop for the better. Based on the overall indicators considered important by Muslim tourists to indicate that Muslim tourists from Gen Z (born 1995 -2015) put a top priority on halal food and beverages that are good quality and availability of Halal information on the tourist area. The points are supported from the dominant indicators. This is due to gene Z most likely not to apply Islamic Sharia consistently.
In the study of exploring halal-friendly destination attributes through perceptions and behaviors of Muslim travelers toward a non-Muslim destination in South Korea, according to NCA results muslim travelers choose the recommends halal food and beverage as a necessary condition for a halalfriendly destination (Han et al., 2019)

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Conclusions
Based on the research related to the analysis of Halal friendly attribute of Muslim tourists on non-Muslim tourism destinations, it can be concluded that from 17 (seventeen) Indicators of Halal friendly attribute are researched resulting in 5 (five) indicators that are considered dominant importance by Muslim tourists on non-Muslim tourism destinations. The indicator is (1) Halal food and beverage offered in tourist sites/places were clean, safe, and hygienic (2) Availability of Halal food in tourist places (3) Halal food providers in tourist sites are accredited with Halal certification (4) Halal food outlets/restaurants in tourist sites clearly display a Halal logo (5) Tourist information centers offer Halal service information. These points must be used as the main focus by tour providers/marketers to improve the quality of Muslim-friendly tourism destinations in Bali Island based on the preference of Muslim travelers on non-Muslim tourist destinations.

Suggestion
Based on the results of the study, here are suggestions for tour providers/marketers, dominant indicators come from the attributes of food and beverages. Therefore it is necessary for travel providers to have a good understanding of how to provide good quality halal food for Muslim travelers. Food and beverage providers are expected to meet the criteria as a provider of halal food such as safe, hygienic and healthy to consume also give halal signs/logos in the restaurant so that Muslim tourists do not hesitate to consume the product. Provide information centers about the halal in the tourist area. Muslim travelers often experience a lack of information about the halal when traveling to non-Muslim destination. Therefore, it is important for the tour provider to provide information center about the halal with the supply for local staffs about halal awareness. Along with the massive technological developments such as today a tour service provider can offer tips, recommendations, and itineraries to Muslim travelers through online platforms so it is easily accessible anytime and anywhere. Facility is the second order chosen by Muslim travelers, tour service providers are expected to provide or even improve the quality of their services by providing an easy to access, clean and comfortable and separate between male and female in tourist attractions such as shopping centers. For other facilities such as spa, swimming pool and fitness center are expected to apply similar that is a separate room among male visitors with female visitors to maintain privacy. The attributes of Locals and staff are in the third chosen by Muslim travellers, although the role of human resources becomes a front liner in terms of service delivery. To raise awareness of the halal service among employees, training needs to familiarize themselves with the basic requirements in terms of morality of Islam. For example, hotel staff, restaurant staff, tour guides, and travel agencies need to be equipped with an understanding of general halal services. For hotel staff, restaurant staff, tour guides and travel agencies also need to be attentive to Islamic attire and uniform behaviors (not using a mini-skirts, tights, nudy clothing). The limitations on this study are yet to explore the preference of Muslim tourists Nusantara as a whole, samples of Muslim tourists in Bandung have not been able to explain the population of Muslim tourists Nusantara. The research was limited by demographic only able to capture Muslim tourist preference derived from generation Z (born 1995-2015).
