Cross-Border Weddings as Policy Lab

Develop a framework to study how making a country a destination for international weddings affects the local economy, service industries, and social norms. Identify regulatory challenges (marriage law, visas, taxation), tourism dynamics, and cultural integration. Propose policy options that balance economic benefits with social cohesion and resident interests. Design a longitudinal study with data sources and indicators (business activity, employment, service-sector growth, cultural events, attitudes) and an evaluation cadence.
