According to official statistics, the total number of Muslims has now exceeded 2 billion, accounting for over 25% of the world's population and is rapidly growing. This has created a tantalizing opportunity and enormous market for players in the tourism industry.

China, as the country with the world's largest population, has approximately 30 million Muslims, which is close to the total population of Malaysia. As mentioned by our president, Dato' Dr. Angie, Malaysia is capable of hosting this large group of potential tourists for several reasons:

1. Malaysia is a Muslim country with the largest population of Chinese speakers in Southeast Asia.

2. Malaysia boasts well-equipped Muslim-friendly facilities and mature tourism infrastructure.

3. Malaysia offers a diverse range of halal cuisine, and its society is well-known for its high level of inclusivity.

However, many people still have a narrow understanding of Muslim culture, leading us to receive complaints regarding tour groups not adhering to Muslim standards. Hence, we have initiated a collaboration with the Islamic Tourism Centre to not only enhance the knowledge of tourism industry players but also to help Muslim tourists rediscover Malaysia's Muslim-friendly tourism.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the support and arrival of Sarawak Tourism Board and BE Sarawak in our Annual National Networking 2024.

In the effort to promote the Foliday campaign when international borders were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, we initiated a collaboration with Sarawak Tourism Board and BE Sarawak. Both Sarawak Tourism Board and BE Sarawak provided unwavering support, enabling us to successfully organize an amazing race in Kuching, Sarawak with 100 participants. We will continue the amazing journey with Sarawak Tourism Board and BE Sarawak, and we will exert ourselves fully to promote Sarawak Tourism in the Inbound Chinese market.
