Matta To Organise International Muslim Tourism Conference
 
News From : DagangHalal.com (10/4/2009)

KUALA LUMPUR, 8 April (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Matta) will organise the 3rd International Conference on Muslim Tourism, Hajj and Umrah (InCoMTHU '09) on April 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 here today.

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.

Meanwhile, 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.

Jeffri also said that more than 200 participants from national and regional tourism organisations, Muslim tour operators as well as non-governmental organisation's (NGOs) along with key tourism players, are to attend the conference.

The conference is expected to be officiated by the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) here.

It is being organised in collaboration with the Department of Zakat, Wakaf and Hajj, Lembaga Tabung Haji (The Pilgrimage Fund Board), Tourism Malaysia, the Embassy of Saudi Arabia and Bank Islam.

Those interested can visit the conference website, www.incomthu.com, or call the Matta secretariat (Azhan Hassan) at 03-92876881," he said.
