Abu Dhabi’s Visa Support for Indian Destination Weddings

In a bid to establish Abu Dhabi as a prime wedding destination, the Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau (ADCEB) has rolled out an initiative to offer visa support to Indian nationals hosting weddings within the Emirate. This move, spearheaded by the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, aligns with Abu Dhabi’s tourism strategy for 2030, which aims to attract 39.3 million visitors by the said year.

The introduction of visa support for Indian weddings is part of the ADCEB’s broader efforts to diversify its tourism offerings and boost its contribution to the GDP, aiming for a substantial increase to AED 90 billion by 2030. Recognizing India as a significant market for destination weddings globally, Abu Dhabi aims to position itself as a top choice for such celebrations by absorbing visa costs for Indian hosts.

This initiative not only showcases Abu Dhabi’s cultural and entertainment offerings but also highlights its natural landscapes to a global audience. Weddings serve as a crucial revenue stream for the hospitality sector, driving venue bookings, hotel occupancy rates, and various service industries including wedding planning, photography, catering, and more.
