Ancient fortresses beside contemporary skylines. Street-side bakeries in the shadow of designer boutiques. UNESCO World Heritage sites woven into Michelin-starred gastronomy. It is this tension between what was and what is becoming that makes Macao one of the world's most fascinating settings and, in April 2026, the stage for the Destination Wedding Planners Congress.
Zankyou is proud to announce its participation as an official Media Partner of this edition.
The congress that moves an industry
Organised by QnA International, the DWP Congress is the world's most influential B2B platform dedicated to destination weddings. For over two decades, it has identified cities with identity, narrative and possibility, and placed them at the centre of the conversations that define the industry.
In 2026, that choice fell on Macao.
From 22 to 24 April, more than 300 leading professionals from over 70 countries: wedding planners, hospitality leaders, luxury brands, influencers and creative visionaries, will gather in a city that has as much to show as it does to keep you guessing.
In partnership with the Macao Government Tourism Office as Supporting Partner and Sands Lifestyle Macao as Host Hotel Partner, the congress promises to be more than an industry event. It is an invitation to reimagine what a destination wedding can be.
Macao as canvas
What makes Macao singular is not infrastructure alone, though it exists, and at a scale rarely seen. Its integrated resorts offer luxury hotels, Michelin-starred dining, entertainment and celebration spaces that allow for multi-day experiences without ever leaving the same universe.
It is what lies beyond that surprises.
Portuguese and Chinese heritage coexist here with a naturalness that no branding exercise can manufacture. Its gastronomy holds UNESCO Creative City recognition. And the city, strategically positioned in the Greater Bay Area, is redefining its place on the luxury tourism map, from leisure to high-value celebrations, from MICE to weddings that stay with families for generations.
"DWP Congress has always identified destinations ready to lead the next chapter of global wedding tourism," said Sidh N.C., Managing Director of QnA International. "Macao embodies that next chapter, a city with soul, scale and sophistication."
What to expect from April
The programme combines high-level networking, curated one-to-one business meetings, immersive site inspections, thematic evenings and experiential showcases. Thirty international media professionals and key opinion leaders will discover Macao through experiences curated by MGTO, generating content that will amplify the destination to the world's most relevant audiences.
Attendees arrive not merely as delegates. They arrive as storytellers discovering a new canvas for their clients' most significant moments.
As official Media Partners of DWP Congress 2026, we will be covering, telling and sharing everything this edition has to reveal, for the professionals shaping the industry and the couples dreaming of a day they will never forget.
