To further promote a Muslim-friendly tourism environment, the Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Northeast Coast Administration) of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, organized two sessions of Muslim tourism experience activities in Taiwan on May 30 and June 6. Coinciding with the important Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, the activities invited Muslim friends and families in Taiwan to participate. Through food, culture, experiential activities, and prayer spaces, participants celebrated the festival, shared joy and blessings, and explored the tourism appeal and Muslim-friendly environment of the Northeast Coast and Yilan region.

The event attracted 48 Muslim participants, including 10 children, showcasing the appeal of Muslim-friendly tourism in the Northeast Coast to families and groups with children. Participants came from diverse nationalities, including France, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Taiwan, adding an international atmosphere to the event.

The two-part tour combines Muslim-friendly dining, prayer arrangements, and local experiences. The first part includes tea ice cream DIY, a visit to the Yilan Traditional Arts Center, and souvenir shopping. The second part includes scallion pulling DIY, a Muslim-friendly lunch and prayer arrangements, as well as Yilan traditional arts cultural experiences. Participants can experience the slow travel characteristics of Yilan and the diverse tourism environment of the Northeast Coast through tea culture, agricultural experiences, and traditional arts.

During the event, many participants were deeply impressed by Yilan's traditional culture, local experiences, and Muslim-friendly dining arrangements. They also felt that the Northeast Coast and Yilan area offered convenient transportation and a comfortable travel pace, making it ideal for families and friends to travel together. Through hands-on experience, businesses gained a better understanding of the needs and cultural habits of Muslim tourists, providing important references for future service and reception process optimization. Furthermore, the event invited Muslim participants with social media influence and a willingness to help promote the area to share their travel experiences through Instagram posts and Reels, further enhancing the exposure and social media reach of Muslim-friendly tourism in the Northeast Coast.
