Tourists fly to wed in Fiji

Tourists fly to wed in Fiji

Aug 15, 2009

Fiji's wedding market is booming and becoming increasingly popular despite the global economic downturn.

Brides to be are now looking towards the tropical islands to celebrate their big day.

Warwick Fiji Resort and Spa's wedding co-ordinator Unaisi Letewale said while arrivals numbers were picking up slowly, the wedding market was booming. "Weddings overseas are a big business," she said.

"Couples save up for their special day and it's important to record each and every detail as to what they want."

Mrs Letewale said the industry was just thriving and the Warwick hosted up to five weddings a week.

Tourism Fiji's marketing officer Inise Mucunabitu had said a growing percentage of brides worldwide were now turning to the internet to prepare for their big day. She said this move came as more tourists travel to marry in Fiji.

Ms Mucunabitu said a local wedding planner heeded the call and created a website specifically for couples planning on getting married in Fiji.

"With practical advice, and wedding packages to choose from, 'Fiji Weddings' is aimed at giving couples information for all things related to getting married in Fiji," she said.

"www.fijiweddings.com.fj has information and advice useful to locals planning their weddings as well and is continuously updated with new information and packages on a regular basis in order to keep abreast with the needs of its visitors."

Meanwhile, Ms Mucunabitu said Tourism Fiji's competition win a dream Fiji wedding and honeymoon closed last month.
