Hong Kong is focusing on Middle Eastern travelers.


Both the hong kong travel authorities and businesses have been trying to attract visitors from around the world, with muslim tourists one of the target audiences they are after.


The omnipresence of pork and cooking wine in cantonese cuisine, as well as nearby southeast asian countries such as singapore, malaysia, and indonesia, are among the issues facing muslim travelers in hong kong.


Many visitors are expected to eat the same southeast asian food as they do at home, and the latter causes more discomforts.


Since last year, hong kong restaurants have been awarded halal and halal-friendly accreditations, as well as hotels that have earned muslim-friendly ratings, many of the new entrants are higher-end restaurants.


Restaurants in hong kong are also innovating cantonese dishes by substituting pork with beef, as the majority of the existing restaurants serve inexpensive meals for the local muslim population and migrant workers.


Not only did officials from hong kong recently visit the gulf countries to promote tourism in the region, but hong kong is planning to welcome more muslim visitors in the coming days.
