So far this year, 120 couples have already asked Ibiza’s municipal offices to get married on the island. As a result of the growth of this number, the City Council of Vila will promote the city as a wedding destination at the next World Travel Market (WTM), the traditional fair for professionals in the tourism sector to be held between 5 and 7 November in London, where the mayor Rafael Triguero will be present. “Getting married in Ibiza, in a World Heritage city, is the dream of many couples and from the Ibiza Town Hall we will promote the Ibizan capital as a wedding destination, showing the magnificent places of Dalt Vila and providing all the services and quality professionals working in our municipality to make this special celebration become a reality,” said the Councilor for Tourism of the Ibiza Town Hall, Ruben Sousa, who is also part of the delegation that will be in the British capital. He also announced that a promotional video of Ibiza as a wedding destination will be presented at the fair and that, from the WTM, several meetings with specialized companies have already been arranged. In 2024 the number of requests to get married in Ibiza’s municipal offices tripled compared to four years ago. In 2020 there had been 43, while on November 2 there were already 120 in the year 120. A number also much higher than the 59 in 2021, 58 in 2022 and 55 in 2023.
World Heritage City
According to Triguero, 2024 is a very important year for the city of Ibiza: 25 years of the declaration by UNESCO of Ibiza as a World Heritage City.
“Therefore, at the World Travel Market in London, the City Council will also focus on promoting our valuable heritage, which has the best preserved walls of the Mediterranean, and in entertaining this offer by promoting sports and gastronomy,” explained Triguero. On the other hand, like the other councils of the island, will support the promotion of the Consell Insular de Ibiza of family tourism and the link of the island with the British.
