In order to create Muslim-friendly tourist environments and to stimulate the diversified development for the tourism industry in the Penghu region, Penghu National Scenic Area Administration Court, Tourism Bureau, MOTC (known as “Penghu National Scenic Area Administration Court” below) has specially set the time starting from 2pm on March 20th, 2018 (Tuesday) to organize 2 sessions of coaching certification explanation sessions for “Activation of Muslim-Friendly Tourism in Penghu Bay” at the Penghu Visitors Center.
 
In light of a global Muslim population that is close to 1.7 billion people, making up 1/5 of the global population, it is a tourist market not should not be underestimated and is strongly developed by countries worldwide with infinite potential. Moreover, according to the latest “2017 Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI)” announced by MasterCard, it is estimated that the population will grow by 156 million people by 2020, taking up 10% of the entire global tourist market. Meanwhile, for the evaluation on tourist destinations, although Taiwan was still positioned No. 7 in 2017, it performed brilliantly in the four indexes including accommodation options, easy accessibility of worship room, air traffic connection as well as Muslim tourist guidance, promoting Taiwan to rank No.2 of the top 10 non-Islam tourist countries in the aspect of the growth for the Muslim tourist index. Based on this, in order to develop the emerging Muslim tourist market, active coaching and assistance has been offered to quality tourism proprietors within the Penghu region to apply for Muslim-friendly tourism certification. This ensures the service quality for receiving Muslim tourists, creating friendly dining and accommodation environment, hoping to attract more Muslim tourists to visit Penghu, so as to stimulate the diversified development of the tourism industry in the Penghu region, as well as to increase economic benefits. This is the objective for organizing the coaching explanation session for this time.
 
Director Cheng-Kuang Fang of the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration Court stated that the International Muslim Tourism Industry Development Association is specially invited to jointly organize this explanation session, and the invitees to the 2 explanation sessions will be focused primarily on restaurants, hotels and travel agencies within the Penghu region. Moreover, it will also be open for participation by various divisions and related tourism industries, and the content of the explanation sessions will be focused mainly on assisting proprietors to understand Muslim culture, Muslim tourism development analysis, as well as the relevant certification affairs regarding a friendly tourism environment. It is further expected to assist in the establishment of a certification platform for a friendly tourism environment through the organization of this explanation session. This will increase the motive and quantity of obtaining Muslim-Friendly tourism environment certification, so as to allow Penghu to become an index region for Muslim tourism.
