In 2014 organizing marriages for foreigners generated revenue of $30 million in the country, 25% more than the $24 million generated during 2013.
The trend of getting married in other countries is growing in developed economies such as the US, where most of the revenues in Guatemala generated from this activity came from. Although regionally Mexico dominates this market, Guatemala is looking to position itself as a wedding destination in Central America, making itself known in tourism fairs and increasing international promotion.
