Industry Trends and Drivers:

Rising Disposable Income and Economic Growth:

Growth of destination wedding tourism correlates with increased incomes at an individual level, and the rise of disposable income and wealth privy to destination weddings. In China, an average of CNY 39200 per year of disposable income is reported in 2023. In September 2024, the United States recorded a 0.3% increase in real disposable individual income versus the previous month, August 2024. This financial capability means that couples can afford to travel to exotic places and have elaborate weddings. As the world's middle class grows, especially in emerging markets, destination weddings are seen as an affordable luxury. They see that they can have a wedding with their closest family and friends in a beautiful setting for a fraction of what they would spend on a customary wedding with hundreds of guests.

Millennial and Gen Z Wedding Preferences:

Couples today are redefining the real purpose of a wedding reception. Millennials and Generation Z travelers are attracted to destination wedding venues because these cater to not one but many occasions, including the celebration of the wedding, spending time with family and friends, discovering new places, and experiencing new cultures. These generations are thought of as ones who value authenticity, wanting to reflect their individuality in their weddings rather than conforming to customary standards. They are also seen as comfortable with travel. Another reason destination weddings have gotten more popular than customary weddings is that couples have started wanting Instagram-worthy moments to show off on the social media platform and similar sites. Destination weddings are aspirational events; family and friends who cannot attend can easily join via video.

Intimate Celebrations and Quality Over Quantity:

We've certainly seen a trend with couples opting for that smaller, more intimate type of wedding that creates an opportunity for meaningful, human connection, and destination weddings seem to do that naturally. After all, destination weddings do tend to limit the guest list to the people who matter most to the couple. In this new more relaxed and personalized environment, the couple actually gets to spend time with their guests. In North America, one in four couples getting married is now having a destination wedding. For multi-day celebrations, intimacy is improved by cultural traditions and leisure activities. Since guests are on holiday, they appreciate the opportunity to travel to another city or country. To many guests, the adventure makes up for the time and money spent to attend.

Improved Travel Infrastructure and Accessibility:

Improvements in international travel infrastructure have given couples more opportunities to host destination weddings. An increase in and diversification of transport options, cheaper airfares, and direct air routes between major cities and popular locations have made international travel for the average foreign wedding guest much more practical and affordable. In response, the hospitality sector has begun to offer full wedding packages. Many resorts and venues have on-site wedding coordinators to address license requirements and select vendors, among other tasks. This allows potential clients to plan their entire wedding remotely, from virtual tours of their venue to meetings with their selected vendor professionals. As the hospitality and tourism industries have recognized the potential of the destination wedding market, there are an increasing number of resorts and venues with bespoke packages at competitive prices.
