TAIPEI, May 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan Tourism Administration Kuala Lumpur Office has expanded its promotional focus in the Malaysian market in recent years. Apart from targeting the local Chinese, it has gradually expanded its efforts to reach over 60% of Malaysia’s Muslim population. With an increasing number of hotels, restaurants and and shops across Taiwan becoming certified as Muslim-friendly through guidance and counseling, there are significant advantages in promoting Taiwan among Malaysia’s Muslim tourism market. In 2024, for the first time, the Salam Taiwan Travel Fair is held in a shopping mall, exclusively offering Muslim-friendly travel packages to Taiwan. The fair is taking place at IOI City Mall Putrajaya, starting from May 29th and running until June 2nd, spanning five days. This timing coincided with the local week-long summer holiday period, aiming to introduce Taiwan as a Muslim-friendly destination to Muslim visiting mall during the holidays.
