Are You Operating A Hotel or A Venue? Revolutionize Your Wedding Booking Service
Destination weddings are increasing rapidly in terms of popularity and a key part of tourism flow. The steadily growing overseas wedding tourism market contributes to local economies and the tourism sector. Take for instance Cyprus, being a key player. As mentioned in Mintel’s latest report “Wedding/Honeymoon Tourism Worldwide” in 2018, Cyprus recorded 3,652,073 international tourist arrivals in 2017, making a statement as a wedding destination.
The contribution of tourism, and in particular wedding tourism, to the Cyprus economy cannot be overrated, as each wedding couple is escorted by an average of 30 guests who stay for an average of 10 nights at the chosen destination. Hence, it is clear that it can offer lucrative business opportunities and attract a healthy flow of visitors to a country.
For many couples, planning a wedding, especially in a destination different from their home, can be tasking. There is, however, one snag that is often encountered: A long wait time right at the beginning. But what if we told you we’ve found an easy and faster solution to that?
BookYourWeddingDay.com is the first and only international online booking platform which offers Real-Time Availability and delivers Instant Confirmation of wedding dates and ceremony times at the featured venues. Our system simplifies, facilitates and accelerates the entire wedding date booking procedure in the featuring venues and improves the overall experience of interested parties (couples, travel agents, wedding planners, etc.).
Offering Real-Time Availability of hotels/venues and delivering Instant online Confirmation of wedding dates, our system automates the entire wedding date booking procedure. As a result, it eliminates the waiting time of 6-8 weeks that was required to receive confirmation for a wedding date in the past. By eliminating the waiting time for a confirmation of the couple’s dream wedding venue from weeks to minutes, BYWD has brought wedding tourism into the 21st century.

BYWD is a powerful tool that benefits all stakeholders without competing with them. Right from the start, tour operator giants such as TUI UK have signed long-term strategic partnerships and have integrated BYWD in their own systems. Travel agents in the main feeder market, UK, are equally enthusiastic, as BYWD helps them improve their client service and response time, increase productivity and sales by offering couples instant availability and confirmation.
