Taipei's efforts to promote Muslim-friendly tourism have once again received international recognition. CrescentRating, a globally renowned Muslim travel promotion organization, held the 2026 Halal In Travel Awards ceremony in Singapore on June 18, where Taipei Arena was honored with the “Muslim-friendly Event Venue of the Year” award. The venue was the only recipient from Taiwan, highlighting Taipei City's achievements in friendly tourism, multicultural hospitality, and upgraded venue services.

Taipei Arena is one of Taiwan's most representative multifunctional indoor venues, hosting international sporting events, major concerts, and cultural performances throughout the year. To enhance services for international visitors, Taipei Arena has actively promoted Muslim-friendly facilities. Under the guidance of the Taipei City Department of Information and Tourism and the Chinese Muslim Association, the venue established a prayer room for Muslim visitors and obtained Muslim-friendly certification, creating a more inclusive and convenient environment.

This international award recognizes both the quality of Taipei Arena's services and its friendly facilities. It also reflects international recognition of Taipei City's Muslim-friendly tourism policies. Taipei Metro Recreation Development Corporation stated that it will continue improving venue services and visitor reception environments while working with Taipei City to promote an inclusive and internationally competitive tourism brand.
