Japan to host 1st International Halal Expo (Japan)

Japan will host its first international forum and exhibition for halal environment and business later this year to raise awareness about the thriving industry in the far-east Asian country.

The expo aims to contribute to the development of a domestic halal environment by Japanese companies.

The halal expo is scheduled to be held on November 26-27.

According to a recent survey, Japan’s rank in Islamic tourism has jumped from the 50th place to the 40th within a year.
