Abu Dhabi – October 18, 2015.
The World Halal Travel Summit & Exhibition (WHTS15), the world’s
largest international gathering of organisations, government officials
and professionals dedicated to developing, and investing in, global
Halal tourism will showcase 200 exhibitors, 20 free to attend seminar
sessions and is set to welcome an anticipated 6,000 visitors.
Says
Mr. Andy Buchanan, Founder of WHTS15: “With Halal tourism growing at 6%
per annum, faster than any other travel sector, and with the global
Halal travel market projected to be worth USD$ 238 billion by 2019, the
response from exhibitors and tourism professionals has been
overwhelmingly positive and extremely encouraging.”
The
three-day summit will also include a daily programme of free-to-attend
seminars and panel discussions highlighting the key issues facing Halal
tourism, along with examples and development models that introduce
international best practice from the field.
“Delegations,
visitors, sponsors and exhibitors are already, confirmed from
destinations as diverse as Malaysia, the UAE, GCC, Turkey, Kenya, Iran,
Sri Lanka, Croatia, Lebanon, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Canada and the
USA, to just name a few, and is testament to the reach, interest and
possibilities that Halal tourism offers,” stated Buchanan. He added:
“WHTS15 is a gathering of the industry’s international elite who will
formulate, establish and spearhead what will become the benchmarks and
future development of Halal tourism in the coming years; and that’s what
makes this event an incredibly exciting one to be part of.”
