The Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau (ADCEB) has recently unveiled an innovative initiative aimed at supporting Indian nationals who wish to host their weddings in Abu Dhabi. This endeavour is part of the broader strategy of the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi to position the UAE capital as a leading wedding destination. The ultimate goal is to significantly increase the number of visitors to 39.3 million by 2030 as outlined in the tourism strategy.

The ADCEB seeks to attract both local and international visitors, with the objective of boosting the wedding sector's contribution to the GDP to AED 90 billion by 2030. Recognising India as one of the most prominent markets for destination weddings, the ADCEB is taking steps to provide visa support specifically for Indian weddings, covering associated costs. This strategic move is designed to position Abu Dhabi as a top global destination for weddings and celebrations, showcasing the Emirate's rich cultural heritage, diverse entertainment offerings, and breathtaking natural landscapes to a global audience.

Furthermore, weddings represent a significant source of revenue for the hospitality sector, driving venue and hotel room occupancy rates. Additionally, this initiative is expected to have a positive impact on various service industry sectors, including wedding planning, photography, catering, and other related services.
