One of Asia's largest in-water boat displays
will be at the
2011 Phuket International Boat Show (PIMEX). Now in its eighth
year, PIMEX will take place 6-9 January 2011 at the Royal Phuket
Marina.
"PIMEX is the place to come for all things marine.
Being based in Phuket, Asia's marine hub, PIMEX is well positioned
to benefit from Asia's wealthy and rapidly growing middle
classes," said Andy Dowden, Show Director, Informa Yacht Group.
All eyes are on Asia and its growing importance in the leisure
marine world, evident in more top international yachting and
boating events being hosted in Asia and a plethora of amateur
regattas in the region. The recent Asia Superyacht Conference in
Singapore welcomed more than 220 participants from 35 countries
around the world and highlighted the enormous opportunities in
Asia, promoting Asia's potential leading role in marine industry
growth over the next ten years.
In Phuket alone there are
three international sailing regattas, the top international boat
brands are all represented, and there is a strong local boat
building industry. Add to that a developed charter market and a
growing number of superyachts that come through each season, and
Phuket is the epicentre of nautical tourism in Asia.
"PIMEX
attracts qualified visitors and has a track record of strong sales
from the show. We have a great line up of exhibitors in the water and in the exhibition hall, including all the top boat brands,
marine products and luxury car companies. PIMEX 2011 is set to be
the biggest and best yet," added Dowden.
Boat brokers and
dealerships will represent the best-known brands from around the
world at the 2011 Phuket International Boat Show, including: Azimut, Bavaria Yachts, Beneteau, Benetti, Boston Whaler, Chris
Craft, Crownline, Corsair Marine, Cranchi, De Birs, Fairline,
Ferretti Yachts, Fontaine Pajot, Formula, Hanse, Horizon, Jeanneau,
Lagoon, Majesty Yachts, Mustang, Nautor's Swan, Northrop & Johnson, Oryx, Pershing, Princess, Riviera, Sea Ray, Silvercraft,
Sunseeker, Windy Boats and more. Locally built boats from Cata
Thai, Composite Catamarans, Sunnav and Seat Boat will also be on
display.
The 2010 Phuket International Boat Show hosted
more than 85 companies and featured 35 yachts in the water. The
2011 show expects to welcome 6,000 visitors over four days,
including over 2,000 trade visitors.
