The Boat Show proved itself as an extraordinary instrument for the recovering of the Italian nautical sector. A new atmosphere is perceived in the stalls and along the piers, with satisfied exhibitors as well as visitors. A special enthusiasm is spread within the sectors of sailing and motor boats, both small and medium sized ones.
The first clearly positive figure is for the public turnout: not very far from last year’s data, the Genova Boat Show confirms to be the most attended in the Mediterranean area, with over 109,200 visitors.
According to the Nautical National Observatory, which has carried out its usual qualitative estimation for this year too, good results have also been registered in terms of potential turnover developed during this edition. Over half of the operators (53,8%) has declared to be more satisfied than last year in terms of quality of established contacts with clients compared to the previous edition
The 2014 Boat Show is the first to be coordinated by I Saloni Nautici SpA. Its“governance” is based on the needs and the requests of UCINA Associates. The main goal was the one to create a modern and efficient structure for the exhibition, due to the difficulties emerged in the previous editions. Therefore, a realistic three-years plan for the recovery of the exhibition has been designed: the calendar for the confirmed 55th edition is scheduled from the 30th of September to the 5th of October 2015.
