Organisers of the Thailand International Boat Show
have confirmed that the event will next take place 6-9
January 2022, at the Royal Phuket Marina.
Thai government agencies have been quick to
endorse the event. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports and the
Tourism Authority of Thailand have given their approval and
support of the event, while the Thailand Convention and Exhibition
Bureau has also endorsed the show in particular for its drive to
attract international visitors, hundreds of which have already
committed to attending.
“The Thailand International Boat Show will be the
first international event of its kind since Phuket reopened to
international visitors earlier this year,” said David Hayes, CEO
of organisers JAND Events. “We're working closely with the local
and central government, and are aligned on the national agenda to
reopen the country to international visitors. We support the
government's plans and together we'll help to shine the light
again on Phuket and Thailand's world-class marine tourism.”
From dinghies to superyachts, tenders and water
toys, there will be a wide array of boats for sale and charter at
the show including many of the most recognisable marine brands
such as Fontaine Pajot, Majesty Yachts, NEEL, Oryx, ILIAD, Silvercraft, LEEN, Nomad Yachts, Stealth Catamarans, Ocean
Voyager, Rapido, Corsair Marine, Integrated Marine Service and
more.
There will also be a new marine market where all
types of nautical products will be on sale at reasonable prices.
In addition to boats and all things marine,
visitors can expect luxury cars, motorcycles, watches, fashion and
more at the show. Thailand's growing prowess as a health and
wellness hub will be evident as a number of companies will be
promoting traditional, herbal and new-wave wellness, medicine and
healing at the show.
There will
also be a three-day yachting conference at neighbouring Phuket
Boat Lagoon marina, which will feature a number of influential
figures from the yachting industry, as well as networking events
and a Gala Dinner hosted by Intercontinental Phuket Resort on
Saturday, 8 January.
