Jain (R) with other officials at this year's event

Thailand to host Destination Wedding Planners Congress 2017

DUBAI, June 15, 2016

Thailand has been named the host country for the fourth annual Destination Wedding Planners Congress (DWPC).

“Thailand has been a very strong contender, the country is already very popular among travellers and leisure seekers, and is also on the radar as a coveted destination for weddings and honeymoons. Given, the country’s reputation as a destination with deep-rooted cultural traditions, rich heritage and warm hospitality, we are extremely excited to get the ball rolling on the fourth edition!" said Ackash Jain, director of QnA International.

“We are very happy and proud that Thailand has been chosen as the host country for the DWPC, 2017. The attendees will have a chance to see the country’s readiness and we realise that this event is a great opportunity for us to showcase Thailand’s potential for the destination weddings and honeymoons’ market to the world," said Yuthasak Supasorn, Governor, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) — an organisation which has been a regular attendee at the DWPC for three consecutive years.

According to a survey conducted by QnA International, results of which were released during the third annual DWPC, Thailand was revealed as the top destination of choice in Asia for destination weddings and honeymoons. This is no surprise given Thailand’s cultural lure, natural beauty including scenic stretches of beaches, mountains, greenery, unique gastronomy, entertainment, and world renowned hospitality.

Thailand has been a popular destination for travellers and is a successful pioneer in promoting destination weddings and honeymoon tourism in Asia for some time now, having tapped into the Indian and Asia-Pacific market, however, Supasorn said: “While we attract travellers from Europe and the Americas, we have not been able to attract a substantial number who would hold their destination weddings and honeymoons in the country. We are hoping to reach this niche audience in these locations through DWPC 2017.”

The experience in destination weddings and honeymoons that Thailand has acquired through attracting couples include various wedding ceremonies whether it is by the beach, rock-climbing wedding, underwater wedding, traditional Thai wedding; and cooperation with luxury resorts and hotels, wedding planners, event organisers, and professional photographers, to offer competitive packages for the couples. Therefore, Thailand is well-poised to welcome couples who want a memorable and exclusive experience for their wedding and their guests. - TradeArabia News Service
