Also the first of a planned series involving 999 couples, the colourful and celebratory event which is expected to generate widespread media coverage both in China and in Thailand will feature an elaborate and detailed ceremony that will involve the bridal procession and full Thai wedding traditions. Thai cultural performances will later add a special atmosphere to what promises to be literally a happy marriage of tradition and culture hosted by one of Thailand’s leading resort hotels.
“We are honoured and proud to play host to such a joyous and significant event,” said James Ramage, Dusit International Assistant Vice President – Sales. “The wedding ceremony today reflects the increasing significance of China as a major source of visitors to Thailand and of an emerging market for weddings and honeymoons. As one of the country’s leading hotel groups Dusit International is pleased to play such an important role for this very special occasion,” he added.
Dusit International views China as one of the key growth markets globally. Chinese arrivals to Thailand during the first six months of 2012 were reported as more than 1,124,000 visitors, while Dusit International shows an increase in the number of Chinese guests of some 67 percent over a similar period in 2011. At the same time, the Chinese wedding market which sees around 10 million nuptials a year is witnessing an increasing trend to look abroad to countries such as Thailand that can offer exotic destinations for both weddings and honeymoons.
