Great public success for the 64th edition of Genoa International Boat Show with over 120 thousand visitors and more than a thousand boats exhibited on a total exhibition area of 220 thousand square meters between land and water, with 85% of outdoor areas. The format of sea trials is growing with 3,855 exits, 24% more compared to the previous edition.
Beyond 100 new releases with 30 premieres, 125 conferences and workshops. «The 64th Genoa International Boat Show once again confirms its global excellence in the nautical sector and an extraordinary showcase for our city. This year too, the Show confirmed its position as a global reference event for the sector by attracting tens of thousands of visitors to the Waterfront spaces. This result is not only the fruit of the work of organizers and operators in the sector, but also a strong signal of Genoa’s ability to welcome, innovate and relaunch its role at an international level.
The whole of Liguria continues to strengthen its maritime vocation, placing itself at the center of the dialogue between businesses, institutions and technological innovation, always with a careful eye on the sustainability and future of our sea”, declared the mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci. The event was highlighted by the awarding of the Design Innovation Award, the prize established by Confindustria Nautica and I Saloni Nautici to promote innovation, research and sustainability in pleasure boating.
A recognition that seals the increasingly close collaboration between boating and design. This year too, the President of the Salone del Mobile di Milano Maria Porro presided over the work of the international jury. Ten award categories and three honorable mentions.
