Japanese businesses advised to adopt Brunei Halal standards

THE increasing number of Muslim travellers visiting Japan annually and the high standard of Brunei’s Halal certification presents numerous investment opportunities for businessmen from both countries, said an advisor from the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA).

According to Japan National Tourism Organisation, a record 19.73 million people visited Japan in 2015, marking the first time in 45 years that the number of incoming travelers surpassed the outbound figure.
