International Muslim Tourism Conference for KL

Thursday, 17 Apr, 2009 0

KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Association of Tour and
Travel Agents (MATTA) will run the 3rd International Conference on Muslim Tourism, Hajj and Umrah (InCoMTHU ’09) on May 14.

The event is in support of the Malaysian Muslim tour and travel industry.

MATTA’s bumiputera representative, Jeffri Sulaiman, said the theme of the conference is, “Moving Towards Borderless Muslim Tourism”.

He added that the conference aims to encourage travel by Muslims by sharing experiences among the administrators and practitioners of
Muslim tourism.

“We believe the conference can spread the benefits of Muslim tourism to non-Muslim countries, so that the goal of global peace and understanding through tourism can be achieved,” he said at the InCoMTHU ’09 news conference.

The conference will present the latest updates and challenges on
managing the Haj and Umrah pilgrimage while exploring business opportunities in the development of Muslim tourism.

MATTA deputy president Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun said the
conference is also an effort to make Malaysia famous as the Islamic halal hub country in the tourism sector in Asia.
