The 10th Anniversary PIMEX will be “the biggest and best yet”, they say, with up to 60 boats in the water, and exhibition hall and a new “Marine Market”.
Organisers moved the Show in 2012 from the traditional January slot to March, to accommodate a larger display of quality boats in the water, which proved successful. This year’s show was claimed to be “the largest and highest quality boat display ever seen in Asia”.
New for this year is the Marine Market – an outdoor exhibition space for display of trailer boats and marine products.
“We have noted a growing demand in trailer boats – both from exhibitors wanting display space, and from buyers,” said Andy Dowden, Show Director.
“We have created an open space which will allow sellers to display small boats on trailers, together with areas for products, gadgets and widgets. The aim is to attract exhibitors who don’t display in the Exhibition Hall or in the water, and give them the chance to be a part of Pimex,” he said.
Already, say the organisers, 30 per cent of the in-water space is booked and indoor space has seen early reservations above 20 per cent.
