Ministry of Tourism Campaign to Promote Weddings Around the World

Showcasing India as a premier wedding destination, the Ministry of Tourism has recently launched a campaign to woo couples from around the world to celebrate their special day in India.

According to a report by Livemint, India has 25 percent of the world’s weddings. The industry is estimated to grow to $50 billion by 2025, according to reports. 

Wedding planners across the country also say there has been a growing interest in destination weddings. Indian wedding planners will definitely make use of this opportunity made by the government. 

In India, the Rajasthan belt, hill stations and south India are hotspots for destinations. The local weddings will now shift to destinations if the hotel and the city offer great deals and discounts.

What is a destination wedding?

• A destination wedding is something you may consider if you’d like to tie the knot someplace memorable. Destination weddings are ceremonies that are hosted away from the couple’s hometown and usually require travel for the wedding party and guests.
• A destination wedding takes place in a location away from a couple’s hometown.
• Planning a destination wedding could be less expensive than planning a traditional wedding if it entails a smaller guest list or smaller reception.
