This study examines the key antecedents shaping tourists’ subjective well-being in the context of halal tourism. Specifically, it examines how digital literacy and perceived halal tourism attributes influence tourists’ self-efficacy in halal information literacy, satisfaction, and resilience, ultimately affecting their overall well-being. A quantitative approach was employed using a structured survey of 500 tourists visiting halal destinations in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed relationships and ensure the validity and reliability of the model. The findings reveal that subjective well-being is significantly influenced by resilience and satisfaction, while self-efficacy does not have a significant direct effect on subjective well-being, but exerts an indirect effect through satisfaction. Furthermore, digital literacy and halal tourism attributes significantly affect both self-efficacy and satisfaction, highlighting their joint contribution to enhancing tourists’ well-being. This study integrates digital literacy and halal tourism attributes within a single analytical framework. It contributes to the halal tourism literature by establishing the previously overlooked connection between digital literacy and perceived halal tourism attributes. It also emphasizes the mediating role of self-efficacy in halal information literacy in improving tourists’ subjective well-being. © 2026, Universidad de Huelva. All rights reserved.
