CrescentRating will host the ‘Halal In Travel – Asia Summit 2016’ conference which will include several Islamic travel workshops on 19 October 2016.
Panel discussions will look closely at national strategies to develop Halal tourism and the role technology can play in the segment.

With the in-depth experience CrescentRating has gained over the last seven years, we look forward to delivering a best in class knowledge forum on Halal travel. It will be an ideal platform for exchanging experiences between experts in the industry and destinations," said Fazal Bahardeen, CEO of CrescentRating.
