In early May, the Famtrip program “Harbor of Dreams” organized by Loveland Team in collaboration with FLC Ha Long Hotel was successfully held, gathering representatives of more than 20 travel agencies, tourism partners and high-end wedding event organizers from India, UK, USA, Middle East... The delegation surveyed a number of resorts, cruise ships, Ha Long Bay Heritage, Yen Tu National Special Scenic Relic Site. This is the basis for units to build conference, seminar and wedding tourism products to promote to international markets, targeting high-spending customer segments.
Ms. Sarah Feyling, Founder of Sarah Feyling Consultants LLC - FZ, Dubai (United Arab Emirates), shared: We have had great experiences at the resorts in Ha Long. I think this is an ideal place that every international tourist must visit in Vietnam. The conditions for relaxation and experience here are suitable for the diverse needs of our customer market. I believe that in the future there will be many large weddings held here.
Mr. Varun Madaan, Founder of Vivaah Maker Wedding Planners, Mumbai, India, said: Your destination needs to be promoted more strongly in India. This time I went with many colleagues in the tourism industry to plan the promotion of this wonderful destination. We are confident that with many direct flights between India and Vietnam, this place will become a top destination for Indians and attract many high-quality customers.
In early 2025, the Indian billionaire couple held a wedding in Ha Long Bay with the participation of nearly 600 guests and service staff from India. The wedding was held in Ha Long for 4 days with many famous locations. The main ceremony was chosen by the Indian billionaire couple to be held at FLC Ha Long Resort. According to the groom Poojan R., the sunset scene with a view of the World Heritage - Natural Wonder of Ha Long Bay from above creates a wedding space that is rarely found anywhere else. The conditions for organizing the wedding ceremony were guaranteed by the destination and related units, from facilities to human resources, as well as special and strict requirements on the reception process and menu.
One of the locations chosen by many couples is the Legacy Yen Tu Resort (Uong Bi City) which is also the chosen location for weddings. According to Mr. Le Trong Thanh, Deputy General Director of Tung Lam Development Joint Stock Company, many couples have chosen this place as the location for their weddings, also known as engagement ceremonies. We have a system of rooms that meet the high demands of guests. In addition, the Dien Hong banquet hall - the event venue - also has an area of 852m2, flexible space and a large lobby area suitable for receptions. The banquet hall is decorated with traditional colors and stylized lotus details, making it an ideal space for a wedding with a strong personal touch.
Quang Ninh has a mountainous and sea terrain, natural advantages with a long beautiful coastline, many unique small islands, converging natural and cultural heritage, is an ideal destination for wedding tourists. Besides, Quang Ninh also has good service, reasonable prices, many spaces to organize different parties without overlapping in landscape and decoration. Another favorable factor for this type of tourism is the synchronous traffic infrastructure, with Ha Long International Passenger Port, Van Don International Airport, many highways connecting Hanoi with Quang Ninh. Quang Ninh is gradually becoming a tourist destination combined with weddings for many domestic and international couples.
Developing international tourist flows, including Indians, to Quang Ninh to organize conferences and weddings is the goal of many international travel agencies. According to experts, the Indian overseas wedding market is currently estimated to be worth more than 600 million USD and is growing at a rate of 25-30% per year. Popular wedding destinations are Thailand, UAE, Malaysia, Bali, Greece, Italy, etc. And in recent years, many Indian billionaires have chosen Vietnam to hold their weddings. Seizing this opportunity, the Quang Ninh tourism industry and service providers are actively promoting MICE tourism destinations and wedding tourism. Focusing on promotion and direct access to target markets such as India, the Middle East, etc.
Ms. Tran Thi Kim Qui, Permanent Deputy General Director of FLC Hotels & Resorts, said: We are always proactive and active in expanding the market, especially participating in tourism fairs and wedding fairs to introduce and promote the FLC resort brand. In addition, we also offer flexible product packages, suitable for different markets to reach the maximum number of customers. In the future, developing and building the FLC brand to become a destination for organizing wedding events is also one of our key orientations.
Quang Ninh becoming a favorite wedding destination for domestic and foreign tourists not only promotes and spreads the image of the destination and people of the heritage land, but also continues to affirm the brand and quality of the destination for organizing national and international events. Thereby, attracting a stream of guests with high spending ability is also a new trend, promising to bring a source of quality guests to the Quang Ninh tourism industry. However, in order to compete with the wedding tourism industry of localities in the country as well as countries in the region, the tourism industry needs to increase promotion to promote this type. In addition, it is necessary to promote service activities, experiences, and diversify wedding activities. In particular, for high-paying international guests, facilitating transportation and entry procedures also need to be carefully calculated to avoid congestion during the entry process when there are too many guests at the same time.
