The picturesque landscapes of Cyprus, the many options offered by our island and the reduction of bureaucracy in the performance of civil weddings, have in recent years made wedding tourism a strong card for the Cypriot economy and a great source of income.
Every year, wedding tourism brings in more than one hundred million euros to the state coffers, an amount that can be increased by attracting new markets.
Already the online platform for booking civil weddings BookYourWeddingDay.com has launched promotions in various countries to attract wedding tourism such as Germany, France, Estonia, Poland and the Scandinavian countries.
In addition to this, another market is included in the company's framework, the market of India where the company will start various promotional activities in the next period.
This is a market that can greatly boost wedding tourism revenue as Indian traditions dictate lavish wedding ceremonies, which means bigger budget weddings and by extension more revenue for Cyprus.
