Singapore, 5 January 2026 — CrescentRating, the world’s leading authority on Muslim travel, continues to strengthen the global visibility of Muslim-friendly destinations through its certification and intelligence platforms, with Taipei City emerging as a notable example of sustained destination-level commitment.
As part of its ongoing engagement with Taipei’s tourism stakeholders, CrescentRating has rated 15 Muslim-friendly tourism businesses from Taipei, now shared on its global platform. These newly recognised establishments join a growing list of certified hotels and attractions that meet CrescentRating’s standards for serving Muslim travelers, including considerations related to Halal dining access, prayer facilities, and inclusive service readiness.
The Hotels achieving a Crescent Rating of 4 include: Kyokusui Hotspring Hotel | JustSleep Taipei NTU | May Rooms NTU Gongguan | United Hotel | S.aura Hotel | Boutech Jiantan Hotel | Royal Seasons Hotel I | Royal Seasons Hotel II
Other Muslim-friendly establishments attaining Crescent Rated Bronze include: Maokong Gondola | Zhishan Cultural and Ecological Garden | National Taiwan Arts Education Center | National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall | Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation Beitou Resort | Taipei Zoo | Taipei Arena
The latest update reflects CrescentRating’s broader role in supporting destinations not only through assessment and certification, but also through international exposure. By making verified information accessible to Muslim travelers worldwide, CrescentRating enables more confident travel planning while helping destinations communicate their readiness in a credible and structured way.
Taipei’s continued engagement with CrescentRating has also been recognised at a destination level. Following its earlier recognition of the Most Promising Muslim-Friendly Tourism Destination City Award (non-OIC) in 2023, the city has also received the Muslim Women-friendly City Destination of the Year Award in 2025, acknowledging its efforts to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for Muslim women travelers. This recognition aligns with CrescentRating’s Muslim Women-Friendly Destination framework, which evaluates destinations across safety, accessibility, faith considerations, and overall visitor experience.
According to CrescentRating, destination progress in Muslim-friendly tourism is most effective when certification is paired with long-term ecosystem development and transparent communication. Taipei’s growing portfolio of Crescent Rated establishments demonstrates how cities can progressively strengthen trust among Muslim travelers while positioning themselves more clearly in the global travel market.
