Islamic Tourism Centre (ITC), under the purview of Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Malaysia is organising its first ever Mini Symposium on Islamic Tourism 2017. The symposium will take place from 13 to 14 April 2017 with eight (8) confirmed paper presenters of Islamic tourism from Masters and Ph.D researchers of local universities.

This knowledge sharing session is an effort by ITC to provide a platform for intellectual discourse and information exchange for researchers and industry players to discuss on issues related to Islamic tourism or Muslim-friendly Tourism (MFT). MFT is a fast growing segment that has received interest from the industry. As one of the pioneers of MFT, Malaysia had once again ranked first in the Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2016 report for sixth consecutive year. Among the reasons for making Malaysia the choice for Muslim travellers are travellers’ safety, availability of MFT products and a high-level of halal awareness.

Looking at the potential of MFT in terms of contribution to the economy has attracted non-Muslim countries to venture into this segment. This is visible from the marketing and promotion activities undertake by countries such as Japan, Taiwan and Korea in attracting Muslim travellers. To further strengthen MFT segment in the country, the Ministry and especially ITC will continue to engage and create a platform for the relevant stakeholders to discuss on MFT related issues or topics.

The one and a half day symposium will be officiated by the Deputy Minister of Tourism and Culture, Malaysia YB Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin on 13 April 2017 at 3.00 p.m.

You are cordially invited to send a reporter and photographer/cameraman to cover the event.
