The Sheraton Macao Hotel in Macao is targeting the Indian wedding segment in a major way, a senior official of the group said Friday.
Ruth Boston, general manger, sales and marketing, also said the meetings, incentive, conferences and exhibition (MICE) market from India is on the upswing.
"We are now looking seriously at the Indian wedding market now. Earlier we had to turn down some such enquiries as the priority was the MICE segment and we had to strengthen our kitchen section to cater to the Indian wedding market," Boston told IANS here.
According to Boston, the hotel now has four Indian chefs to take care of the Indian cuisine. The hotel's 24-hour restaurant offers good range of Indian dishes, she said.
Boston said several Chinese celebrities had their weddings in the hotel.
"We are currently in talks with three Indian families - two from India and another settled in Manila - for holding their weddings," Gagan Gupta, account director, sales, told IANS.
A former Portugal colony, Macao is one of the two special administrative regions of China, the other being Hong Kong. The region is highly dependent on tourism and a noted centre for casinos.
