[Call for Proposals] Chapel Dates & Beach Picnics: Call for Participating Businesses to Offer Date Packages
November 3, 2026 · This is Uechi from the @Okinawa Resort Wedding Association Secretariat
The Okinawa Resort Wedding Association (ORWA) is seeking member businesses to collaborate with us in creating and selling “Chapel Dates” and “Beach Picnics”—date packages designed for couples.
In October 2026, we sold two date packages to 66 couples who visited Okinawa for a group wedding ceremony in Taichung, Taiwan. We plan to test this model at other chapels, hotels, and beaches within the prefecture, with the goal of developing it into a staple offering for Couple Anniversary Tourism (CAT). This initiative aims to generate new revenue by utilizing chapels on days when no weddings are scheduled and beaches during off-peak hours.
Case Study: Implementation at 66 Groups in Taichung
With the cooperation of LAZOR SEA RESORT in Yomitan Village, we sold the following two packages via a Traditional Chinese flyer and a Google Form.
| Plans | Rates (for 2 people) | Main Content |
|---|---|---|
| Chapel with an Ocean View: Date & Lunch | ¥17,100 (tax included) | Exclusive use of the chapel for approximately 30 minutes, free to tour and take photos, smartphone photo service provided by staff, tropical welcome drink, and ocean-view lunch (worth ¥5,000) |
| Yomitan Beach Picnic | ¥30,000 | 2 Original Burgers, 1 bottle of sparkling wine, 2 tropical drinks, a picnic set, a chapel tour, and a photo shoot for the two of you on the beach |
We implemented three sales strategies: allowing same-day reservations, giving Okinawan souvenirs to couples who made reservations during their stay, and simplifying our cancellation policy to “free cancellation up to the day before; 100% charge on the day of.”
