"We are developing themed travel packages to adapt to the changes in Chinese travelers' mindsets. They don't just want to travel to see a place, they want to be the traveler who travels to experience the local culture," said Yang Di, general manager of Xing Travel.
"We hope that the one hundred couples can have the most beautiful and most romantic wedding on earth through this event, and exchange one hundred percent of their love in wedding vows," said assistant publisher of Cosmo Bride magazine Mu Liang.
The entire process will be captured on film with documentary filmmakers associated with China Central Television.
