“Through organizing regular meetings with Indian wedding planners and agencies, we aim to increase the number of wedding ceremonies being held in the Kingdom, further positioning Bahrain as an ideal destination for weddings and celebrations,” said Tourism Advisor at BTEA, Dr. Ali Follad.
“Hosting this familiarization trip provided us with the opportunity to promote a range of wedding services and event planners as well as showcase unique venues, international luxury hotel chains and boutique offerings, further positioning the Kingdom as a prime wedding destination under the umbrella of “Island Wedding” thereby increasing the wedding sector’s contribution to the national economy in line with the Economic Vision 2030,” he added.
