Quang Ninh is becoming a magnet for wealthy Indian families seeking to host large-scale, lavish weddings. Alongside the growing trend of wedding tourism, interest from Bollywood filmmakers is creating further opportunities to promote the city’s image in this promising market.
According to the Quang Ninh City Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the city is expected to host three more weddings for wealthy Indian families at InterContinental Halong Bay Resort and FLC Grand Hotel Ha Long by the end of 2026.
To date, Quang Ninh has hosted around 10 large-scale weddings for wealthy Indian families. One notable event was the wedding of Indian billionaire Vivek Dinodiya and Anmol Garg at Vinpearl Resort and Spa Ha Long, which welcomed around 600 guests and involved 500 service staff brought in from India.
Beyond wedding tourism, Ha Long Bay has also attracted interest from Bollywood filmmakers. From January 12 to 14, 2026, an Indian film crew of nearly 100 members filmed the movie “Silaa” at locations on Ha Long Bay and Tuan Chau Island. The production helped showcase the natural beauty of the Ha Long Bay heritage site to Indian audiences through cinema.
In the first nine months of 2026, Quang Ninh welcomed around 70,000 Indian tourist arrivals. This market offers considerable potential for the city to develop premium resort tourism, wedding tourism and event tourism.
