This aligns with Bali’s title as the second most popular wedding destination in the world by 2024, according to a recent survey by Bounce. 

Earning a high wedding score of 8.19/10, Bali ranks among the best wedding destinations in the world, alongside Tuscany and Lake Como in Italy.

According to Minister Sandiaga Uno, Bali is a favorite place for tourists from India to get married because of the affordable wedding costs.

He explained that Indian couples who want to get married in Indonesia are among the 2023 Indian tourists who are ranked second for the most tourists in Bali after Australian tourists.
