It is no doubt, Taiwan is growing in the number of Muslim residents and international visitors over the years. Due to the upsurge in the number of Muslims, Taiwan`s Night Markets have begun promoting halal food at some of their stalls for the Muslim community and tourists.
As part of the New Southbound Policy, the government has encouraged tourism from Southeast Asia and in 2019, an estimated two million visitors from this region visited Taiwan. Of these, approximately 15% were Muslims, who represent a potential collective spending power of NT$2 billion during their stay.
In 2019, the government provided subsidies to many stallholders to encourage them to apply for halal certification from the International Muslim Tourism Industry Development Association, guaranteeing that their food meets the requirements of Islamic law.
As Taiwan urge to grow into a Muslim-friendly country for the Muslim tourists, it is now very opportune to travel.
