The Taiwan Tourism Bureau held a roadshow in Penang to promote their island state as a premier tourism destination.

The team was headed by Abe Chou, director of Taiwan Tourism Bureau (Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei) and its members.

On this note there are some 342 hotels and restaurants who had obtained halal certification in Taiwan 

Tourists from Malaysia are the largest inbound market from Southeast Asia for Taiwan with great potential for growth.

Taiwan offers a myriad of choices for visitors as they offer food, scenery, art, the weather, culture and other activities.
