The heads of the city’s 11 tribes and tourism institutions showed their support to the Philippine Halal Trade and Tourism Expo 2024 held on May 24, 2024, at the SMX Convention Center.
The expo showcased Halal products with international and domestic potential.
With “Resilience in the New Normal: The Impact of Halal Economy Worldwide” as its theme, the said expo tackled issues on halal manufacturing. The expo was also held to push for the growth and marketing of such products and help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
