Vietnamese hotel chain Vinpearl has seen success in its positioning among affluent Indian tourists as a top choice for milestone events like weddings and business gatherings, with more than 10 billionaire weddings hosted along with several venue accolades achieved this year.
“This year alone, Vinpearl has hosted over 10 billionaire weddings from India, and this number is projected to double by 2025,” said Ngo Thi Huong, deputy CEO of Vinpearl.
“Vietnam is fast becoming a prime destination for weddings, MICE, and golf tourism on the global stage,” she added.
According to Vietnam’s National Tourism Administration, there is a striking increase in interest from India, with Indian arrivals rising significantly over the last decade. In 2023 alone, Vietnam welcomed over 392,000 Indian tourists – a number expected to keep climbing as global travel rebounds.
Vinpearl, subsidiary of the giant Vingroup, is meeting this demand by creating custom, high-quality experiences. Recent high-profile events, such as the four-day wedding celebration of businessman Pranay Karnawat and Sakshi Sanghvi, demonstrate this commitment. Hosted at Vinpearl Resort & Golf Nam Hoi An, the wedding blended Indian and Vietnamese cultural elements. The hotel team took note of cultural nuances, ensuring that details like cuisine and decor are tailored to Indian preferences.
Meanwhile, properties like Vinpearl Nha Trang and Vinpearl Resort & Golf Nam Hoi An have earned prestigious venue accolades issued in South-east Asia, marking their reputation as premier locations for international business events.
In a press release, Vinpearl said its properties are equipped for events of all scales, from meetings and client conferences to team-building exercises. Venue selection includes expansive auditoriums, serene beachfronts and secluded gardens.
With global business events revenue projected to exceed US$1.4 trillion by 2025, the World Tourism Organization has highlighted this sector as a promising one. In response,, Vietnam has made business events development a strategic priority.
