摘要

This study focuses on how the Indonesian Muslim community in Taiwan responds to create welfare for themselves in the context of Taiwan Halal Tourism development. Though Taiwan has developed its Halal tourism industry, the Indonesian Muslim Community has faced some problems including in finding halal foods. However, there are also opportunities to empower themselves to achieve welfare, by creating apps or information in social media that are beneficial for the individual creator and Muslim community in Taiwan in general. It is argued that despite the difficulties they face, the Indonesian Muslim community in Taiwan has also played a role in developing Taiwan halal tourism. They share their good experiences of having halal foods and Muslim friendly environment on social media. They also create halal apps to help Muslims find halal restaurants, or check halal ingredients of products available in the market. This research aims to analyze the kind of problems they face and how to manage them; the kind of needs that must be met; and the kind of opportunities that are available to empower themselves. This is qualitative research based on secondary and primary data. Data is obtained by on-line interviews with some Indonesian Muslim communities in Taiwan.
