The training in Singapore was really informative and useful from many aspects. The key aspect was around understanding the needs of the Muslim millennial travelers, how they decide on travel destinations, as well as their interactions with local cultures without compromising their faith-based needs.
The statistics of the potential buying power and continuing growing Muslim travelers has made me understand that there is a need to cater for this segment.
