The Hong Kong International Boat Show 2024 was hailed as a resounding success based on positive feedback from participants at the event.
The Show, organised by Club Marina Cove, is widely regarded by the boating industry as the premier event in the Asia Pacific.
The 25th Edition featured around 50 boats from Italy, France, Finland, Spain, UK, USA, and China drawing approximately 5,000 visitors during its four-day duration.
A global boating hub rises
With the increasing popularity of boating, the demand for boats of different designs and makes has grown steadily.
Hong Kong’s unique waterscape of 261 islands is a distinct asset to its development as a major boating centre.
That said, the Show is widely regarded as Hong Kong’s most popular and successful boating event which serves as an important platform for the promotion of boating and water sports as well as other related trades including financing, insurance and marine communications.
Club Marina Cove general manager Winnie Ng, said the Club will continue to support the development of the boating industry which has a growing importance in the local economy.
She said: “We hope the Government could recognise the increasing demand for pleasure boat moorings and berths. An increase could benefit the industry which in turn contributes to more employment and business for shipyards, marine equipment, services and supplies and marine tourism.”
