An endless moving handrail for a passenger conveyor is formed by heating and connecting together both end portions of a handrail developed body with a connection die. The handrail developed body includes a core body that is made of a thermoplastic elastomer and has a substantially C-shaped cross section, a tensile body arranged inside the core body along a longitudinal direction of the core body, and a canvas arranged on an inner surface of the core body. In the moving handrail for a passenger conveyor, both the end portions of the handrail developed body heated with the connection die are formed as a handrail connection section. A bending stiffness of the handrail connection section is reduced from a longitudinal intermediate portion toward a longitudinal outer side of the handrail connection section.
