THE Muslim-friendly tourism industry will be a focus of the Pahang government this year, says state unity, tourism and culture committee chairman Leong Yu Man.

She said the industry was growing globally with an estimated market value of around US$194bil (RM915.49bil) and this was expected to reach US$300bil (RM1,415.70bil) by 2026.
