Million-dollar weddings by wonder
From the beginning of 2026 to now, there have been 6 weddings of Indian wealthy people held in Quang Ninh, mainly on the coast of Ha Long Bay.
Each wedding usually lasts at least 3 days, gathering about 500 guests from the Indian upper class, including businessmen and large domestic and international business owners. The magnificent, romantic bay space, combined with an isolated resort system, has created unique weddings, even unique ones.
The cost for each wedding is up to millions of USD. Typically, the wedding of the couple Manisha - Karik at the beginning of this year, with a cost of about 3 million USD.
Along with wedding tourism, Quang Ninh is recording a strong wave of Indian MICE guests. Delegations of hundreds, even thousands of people continuously come to the locality to organize conferences, seminars combined with resorts. Not stopping at tourism, the Indian film industry is also starting to "eye" this land. At the beginning of 2026, the movie "Silaa" chose Ha Long Bay and Tuan Chau Island as filming locations, with the participation of actress Sadia Khateeb and director Omung Kumar Bhandula. These film frames are expected to continue to spread the image of Ha Long to millions of Indian audiences.
Fast growth, great potential
According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Ninh province, the number of Indian tourists to Quang Ninh is one of the tourist flows with strong growth rates each year. In which, in the first 4 months of this year, the number of Indian tourists increased by about 28% compared to the same period last year.
This breakthrough is not accidental. In the long-term strategy, Quang Ninh aims to become an international tourism center, with a diverse ecosystem: From honeymoon destinations, high-class resorts, health care to event, festival and spiritual tourism centers.
Each wedding worth millions of USD, each MICE delegation or an international film project is an effective promotional campaign. When Indian businessmen, wealthy people, and celebrities share experiences in Ha Long, the image of Quang Ninh naturally spreads in the global upper class community - something that no communication campaign can easily achieve.
