Noor Mahal Palace Hotel prepares for NRIs as they return to their roots to tie the knot

Driven by the increasing trend of NRIs choosing independent hotel brands over big hospitality groups, the palace hotel is witnessing a significant hike in NRI Destination weddings this season

NEW DELHI, Dec. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — With an estimated revenue of 50,000 crore rupees and an average growth rate of 25%, India will soon become the world’s top wedding destination. According to the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) estimate, over 32 lakh weddings were predicted to be solemnised between November 14 and December 14, 2022. The wedding market is expected to generate business worth rupees 3.75 lakhs crore in this period. Taking India’s Destination wedding to newer heights, NRI’s are choosing India over any other destination in the world to tie the knot. One of India’s most favourite royal wedding destination, Noor Mahal Palace Hotel in Karnal is betting big on the rising trend of NRI weddings in royal and traditional Indian backdrop. In the last two months, the brand has witnessed over 60% spike in NRI weddings. The company is betting big on the ongoing wedding season with new additions, ultra-luxe packages and unmatchable safety standards.

Col. Manbeer Choudhary, Chairman and Managing Director, Jewels Group and Ex-President of Federation of Hotel Restaurant Association of India (FHRAI), says, “The wedding segment is expected to take a big leap in 2023. There is an increasing trend of NRI’s choosing North India for their destination wedding. Our consumer insights show that NRIs are increasingly seeking standalone and independent brand hotels as against the traditional, established groups. Earlier, the big groups and their branding had a strong pull among customers. But over the last couple of years, NRIs are opening up to newer possibilities and have expressed interest in exploring different opportunities. Due to standardisation in service, big groups are often unable to recreate unique and authentic, local experiences. Weddings are now getting more personalised and authentic traditional ceremonies are back. People are willing to spend big bucks but in return all they want is best services, flexibility regarding space, customisation, and geographical preference.”
