THE Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has successfully won the bid from QNA International to host the 4th Annual Destination Wedding Planners Congress 2017.

The event, scheduled to be held in Thailand from May 2-4, 2017, is expected to attract 450 delegates from around the world. The previous three editions took place in Greece, Mauritius and Italy.

Ackash Jain, director of QNA International, said: “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.’’

Moreover, according to a survey conducted by QNA International, Thailand was listed as the top destination of choice in Asia for destination weddings and honeymoons.

Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of TAT, said: “Weddings can raise a great deal of revenue for Thailand. The average spend for a wedding is around five (US$142,000) to 20 million baht depending on how many guests attend. It is estimated that 400 couples come from India alone to get married in Thailand, with Europe and the US being strong markets.”
