The inaugural ‘Thailand Yacht Show 2016’ is taking place from 8-14 February, 2016, at the Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket, as part of the Royal Thai Government’s plan to position Thailand as a ‘Marina Hub of ASEAN’ to help stimulate growth for the Thai economy and the tourism sector.
The Thailand Yacht Show 2016 features over 50 participating yachts and more than 2,000 attendees including yachting operators, yacht owners, shipyard operators, yacht repair service providers, investors, and the general public. It is set to be a powerful platform for Thai entrepreneurs to unveil their products and one-stop services to high-end customers ranging from yachting financial solutions, long-term leasing services, insurance services, on-board catering services, on-board yacht services by captains or yacht crews, and after-sales services to technician services by well-trained and certified yachting experts.
The event is also set as a kick-off event of 2016 for Thailand’s yachting industry ahead of other forthcoming international yacht events; such as, the 19th Bay Regatta, Cape Panwa Hotel Raceweek, which will be an opening event of the Asian Yachting Grand Prix and Asia Super Yacht Rendezvous.
