The just ended Hong Kong International Boat Show 2023 reported positive response from dealers, exhibitors and visitors.

The organiser, Club Marina Cove, said the four-day event received the full support of the Hong Kong Boating Industry Association and its members. About 40 boats of the latest designs and makes from Italy, France, Britain, Poland, Finland, USA, South Africa, China and Hong Kong were on display at the show.

As a result of the Covid pandemic, which drove many people turning to water sports as a leisure activity, the boating industry has flourished in the past years. However, the recent economic slowdown does not dampen the confidence of the industry. It just provides the makers with the time to handle the delivery backlog.

Dealers are of the opinion that the Hong Kong boating industry could weather through the slowdown with its unique position as a low tax haven, convenient geographic location and strong maritime culture.

Miss Winnie Ng, General Manager of Club Marina Cove, said the Club will continue to support the development of the boating industry. The territory's boating culture will complement the Government's initiative to attract high quality talents, corporations and investments.

With the increasing integration with the Greater Bay Area, there will be more opportunities for the industry and sustainable growth can be expected.
