Taiwan

Taiwan is a unique alpine island with a diversity of topographies,
ecologies and cultures.
Its people are friendly and enthusiastic.
Taiwan's island-circling railway lines and bicycle trails,
as well as the Taiwan High Speed Rail,
which enables people to travel from North to South within only 1.5 hours.

The Tourism Administration has worked hard to highlight Taiwan to the world amid increasing international travel during the current post-pandemic revival in global tourism.
In 2023, Taiwan was once again ranked among the world's top-three non-OIC tourist destinations in the Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI),
and was named as a 2023 “Favorite Adventure Destination” by US-based web publisher Trazee Travel.

Muslim-friendly Environment

Although Taiwan is not a typical Muslim country, it is an open and multicultural society. Its Muslim population is about 50,000 people, which accounts for only 0.2% of its entire population. However, Muslims are by no means ignored. Due to the increase of Muslim people coming to Taiwan in recent years, our government has started to align with the Islamic economy that has become a global trend.

In 2023, Mastercard and CrescentRating jointly released the "Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI)." Taiwan ranked 3rd among non-Organization of Islamic Cooperation (non-OIC) destinations. Since 2019, Taiwan has consistently been among the top 3 in this ranking and in 2022, it was awarded the "Most Inclusive Non-OIC Destination" in the CrescentRating's "Halal Travel Awards." Currently, Taiwan's major transportation hubs and tourist attractions, such as international airports, Taipei Main Station, Kaohsiung Station, Hualien Station, as well as Taichung High-Speed Rail Station, and thirteen national scenic areas, and freeway service areas, all have Muslim prayer rooms. Considering the dietary and worship needs of Muslim travelers, Taiwan has designed Muslim-friendly travel itineraries to create a welcoming environment for Muslim visitors.
