This study aimed to investigate the antecedent of loyalty in halal tourist destinations in West Sumatra. We used tourist satisfaction as a mediation variable and religiosity as a moderating variable. The survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 310 respondents who visited halal tourism destinations in West Sumatra. It was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) Partial Least Squares (PLS). Perceived environmental value influences loyalty. Furthermore, destination image affects tourist satisfaction and tourism loyalty. Tourist satisfaction does not mediate the effect of destination image on loyalty. Religiosity affects tourism loyalty; higher religiosity is followed by higher tourism loyalty. Religiosity moderates the effect of satisfaction on loyalty. © 2023 by the authors.
