“If marriages are made in heaven, they should be celebrated in paradise.” – Chairman, Sri Lanka Tourism

Sri Lanka Tourism successfully concluded it’s first-ever Destination Weddings Promotion in India, positioning the island as one of the most enchanting wedding destinations for Indian couples. The campaign was held across three key cities – Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Delhi – and attracted leading wedding planners, event managers, travel agents, and media representatives.

Destination weddings continue to be a fast-growing trend among Indian families seeking international venues that combine cultural richness, exclusivity, and world-class hospitality. Recognizing this demand, Sri Lanka Tourism presented the island’s unique offerings – from golden beaches and luxury resorts to romantic hill country escapes, heritage sites, and spiritual backdrops.

Speaking at the promotion, the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau remarked:

“If marriages are made in heaven, then surely they deserve to be celebrated in paradise. Sri Lanka is that paradise – offering golden beaches, romantic hill country retreats, and heritage estates where Indian couples can create memories that last a lifetime. We want the Indian community to see Sri Lanka not only as a holiday paradise, but as the most enchanting destination to celebrate love.”

The events featured press conferences, Business networking sessions between Sri Lankan service providers and Indian industry leaders, cultural performances, and interactive discussions on wedding logistics, packages, and cultural compatibility.

The campaign successfully strengthened partnerships with the Indian wedding industry, secured significant media coverage, and generated genuine interest in Sri Lanka as a top choice for destination weddings. Sri Lanka Tourism also received wide publicity across Indian media outlets, amplifying the country’s visibility in this growing niche market.

Looking ahead, Sri Lanka Tourism plans to extend similar promotions to other Indian cities, offer familiarization tours for wedding planners, and develop customized wedding packages tailored to Indian cultural and traditional requirements. In addition, discussions will be pursued to explore direct flight connectivity from Ahmedabad to Colombo, further strengthening business opportunities and improving accessibility for wedding travelers.

With its proximity, affordability, and unmatched natural beauty, Sri Lanka has firmly established itself as India’s paradise for weddings.
