The second running of this event broke records once again. Last year’s event, the first charity regatta in China had 28 entries, at the time the biggest grass roots inland regatta in China. This year the figure was surpassed with 35 crews competing on the water, from Optimists to Quarter Tonners.
The Middle East remains one of the most affluent regions in the world, and companies from all over the globe will be showcasing the latest designs and innovations. With the most impressive display of boats and superyachts in the Middle East and the largest, most lucrative gathering of loyal VIP’s and Royal families
the best place to see and buy boats, gear and accessories, Canada’s premier boat show boasts more than 1,500 boats and hundreds of booths showcasing the latest in engines, electronics, marine gifts and accessories. From fishing to cruising to family fun there are boats for every lifestyle, activity and budget. And there’s no better time to buy.
By December 2009, all space of the main venue Shanghai Exhibition Center had been sold for the CIBS 2010 exhibition. Comparing with last year, a large number of exhibitors confirmed their booths much earlier. This positive feedback is a result of a warming-up economical environment and increasing marketing budgets from more brands after the downturn period.
The BMF’s new initiative On The Water gave boating advice to over 1,000 visitors, from how to start boating, to what to upgrade to. In addition, the Marine Trades Association’s Boating on a Budget project raised over £18,000 to help Burnham-on-Crouch house its new RNLI lifeboat.
This has identified many new concepts and ideas and NBS will be developing these into plans to ensure the Show continues to go from strength to strength, delivering such a vital showcase for the UK marine industry.
