The message about an attractive, friendly, civilized and safe tourist city is sent to the bride and groom’s family and the guests.
It is known that the Indian billionaire family chose to hold the wedding in Ha Long after surveying many other famous destinations in Vietnam. In February 2023, another Indian billionaire couple also chose Ha Long as the venue for their important day.
In addition to Ha Long, other tourist destinations in Vietnam such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc are also increasingly being chosen by the Indian elite to organize weddings. In December 2023, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hoai An – Director of the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center – said that in the past 2 years, the city has welcomed more than 20 weddings of billionaires from the Indian market. At the beginning of 2024, it is expected that 6 weddings will also be held in Da Nang.

Weddings of the Indian elite are usually organized for several days in luxurious resorts, renting the entire resort or a separate area for singing and dancing. The number of guests reaches hundreds of people, so it requires many rooms. This group of guests will also take the opportunity to travel locally, have fun and shop, bringing considerable revenue.
In 2023, India has become the 9th largest international visitor market of Vietnam with a total of 392,000 visitors, double the number in 2019 – the year India’s visitor market was only 16th. According to Agoda platform’s data, from January 2019 to mid-May 2023, the search volume for hotels and flights to Vietnam by Indian tourists has “exploded”, increasing by 390%.
