The Andaman Phuket Muslim Women’s Association together with the Phuket Muslim Friendly Club will host the ’Southern Halal Expo & Tourism’ event to help promote halal tourism in Thailand.

Ms. Nuanchan Samart Khumban, President of the Phuket Andaman Muslim Women’s Association, highlighted that the "Southern Halal Expo & Tourism" will feature a wide range of halal products, including food and beverages, and Muslim clothing.

The event will also include special religious lectures by experts and leading academics to promote community participation and foster a multicultural society in Phuket and the southern region.

The Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mr. Lertchai Wangtrakuldee, emphasized the event’s potential to promote halal tourism during the low season by attracting Muslim and Arab tourists from countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

He noted that such tourists significantly contribute to Phuket’s economy and that the event would help develop the entrepreneurial potential of halal products for local providers.
