“We are promoting weddings via ‘I do’ campaign, so we support PM’s view on overseas weddings. But, there is need for infra improvement. All the monuments, Goa beaches, heritage sites should be open for weddings,” strongly appeals Rajeev Jain, Director, Rashi Entertainment.

Rajeev Jain, Founder & Director, Rashi Entertainment said, “Unfortunately, trend is leaning towards destination weddings out of India. The hotel rates that were skyrocketing for the last one-and-a-half years have come down a little, overpriced hotel rooms are not selling any more.”

Siriges-a-nong Trirattanasongpol, Director, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) New Delhi Office said, “For us the main segment are the wedding groups. Weddings are of very high value, when they come to Thailand they come in big groups and spend a lot. We would like to promote sustainable wedding parties in Thailand.” 

Announcing a new movement started by a few in the wedding industry, Rajeev Jain, Director, Rashi Entertainment, said, “If there is no auspicious date for birth, or death, then why should there be an auspicious day for weddings? To revive our industry, we have started a campaign called ‘Har Din Shub Hai’ to tell clients to fix weddings on any day so they get cost benefits and hotels and planners get business throughout the year. This will be virtually launched on 29 September.”

Tamarind Global has gone international by expanding its presence to Dubai, a huge source market for Indian weddings and events. The company already has a presence in Dubai for its tours vertical. It will now offer a bouquet of event and wedding services to support its domestic and international operations from the Dubai office. Weddings and events will be supported by destination selection, planning and budgeting, guest list and vendor management, hospitality, travel and logistics, décor, F&B, entertainment and fashion consultations for the bride and groom wear. Apart from this, MiCE events will also be supported. A team of two will start the base of operations at the Dubai office. Kunal Rai, Vice President – Events and Weddings, will head the Dubai vertical, “With the launch of our Dubai office, Tamarind now offers its services to a ‘global’ audience. We aim to lead the market by providing an all-inclusive bouquet of services to make each event unique, glamorous and memorable.” Elucidating on the reason for expanding to Dubai, he said, “With the progressive growth of the Middle East as a popular destination, Dubai is the best choice to set up a regional HQ. It will act as a start point that will drive maximum output to penetrate primarily the UAE and Middle East market.”
