wedding tourism

Wedding tourism refers to the niche sector of tourism focused on travel for the purpose of hosting or attending weddings. This phenomenon encompasses destination weddings, where couples choose to marry away from their home location, often in exotic or picturesque settings. Wedding tourism attracts not only the bride and groom but also their families and friends, contributing to local economies through various services such as venues, catering, photography, and accommodations. Destinations often promote specific packages and experiences tailored for wedding parties, capitalizing on scenic attractions and cultural offerings. As a growing segment of the tourism industry, wedding tourism has implications for event planning, hospitality management, and local business development.
