Southeast Asia will have its first boat show in two years with the Thailand International Boat Show set to take place at the Royal Phuket Marina from 6-9 January, 2022.
Organisers expect to welcome wealthy jet-setters from overseas on the back of Phuket’s sandbox success.
Show organisers JAND Events, which has worked with luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy and Givenchy, is touting new exhibitor pavilions and visitor activities "on a scale never seen before".
“Thailand International Boat Show is set to raise the bar for boating and lifestyle exhibitions in the region. Initial feedback from the industry has been very good and we expect a large in-water line-up of boats and a collection of marine products and luxury lifestyle in the marina-side exhibition hall,” said David Hayes, CEO of JAND Events.
Yachts ranging from dinghies and day trippers will be on display in the water. Onshore, visitors will be able to purchase boating tech, marine products, gadgets and widgets, while also enjoying luxury properties, autos and lifestyle brands on display in the 2,500sqm air-conditioned exhibition hall, the town square and other areas within Royal Phuket Marina.
Visitors can also expect a bustling boardwalk with restaurants and bars, and an extensive social programme.
Gulu Lalvani, chairman of Royal Phuket Marina, said: "This will be the first boat show in Asia in two years and there is a lot of pent up demand for boats. Globally, boat brands are reporting record sales and as Phuket is the home of boating in Asia, I expect to see all the international boat brands and more displaying at the Thailand International Boat Show in January 2022.”
