Dubai International Boat Show to highlight the progress of the leisure marine industry
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Centre) 20 January 2007 - Dubai Maritime City has announced that it will be the gold sponsor at the Dubai International Boat Show to be held from the 13th to 17th of March 2007 in the Dubai International Marine Club in Mina Seyahi.
Its support of the largest marine industry exhibition in the Middle East is part of a strategic move to increase awareness and promote the marine leisure industry to the local, regional and global maritime community.
The 15th edition of the Dubai International Boat Show is set to be the largest ever, with record numbers of exhibitors and visitors from the world’s marine industry flocking to the event. Organiser Dubai World Trade Centre is on course to achieve its highest level of exhibitors to date, with over 35% growth through significant increases in the number of boats on the water, external displays and increased exhibition space for equipment manufacturers, suppliers and those servicing the marine leisure industry.
In addition, 2007 will be the most international year in the event’s history, with four of the world’s leading global boat groups attending for the first time in addition to those long standing supporters, underlining its increasing global prominence.
The Middle East is one of the fastest growing leisure boating markets in the world. Developers in the region have launched a host of innovative projects and waterside developments and none more so than in Dubai. Dubai has taken advantage of its strategic location between Europe and Asia, to become one of the most important ports of call for the global maritime industry and is viewed as a world-class cruise destination.
Dubai Maritime City, a strong supporter of the Dubai International Boat Show since the start, will be the first ever purpose-built city designed to specifically serve and enhance the global maritime community. It will offer an exceptional mixed-use environment covering every aspect of industrial, commercial and leisure requirements for the maritime industry.
