Genoa International Boat Show 2010

Genoa International Boat Show has reached its fiftieth edition. The Show, which was held for the first time in 1962, and twice in 1972, was presented today in Milan by Fiera di Genova Spa’s Chairman, Paolo Lombardi, the President of UCINA-Confindustria Nautica (the Italian Boating Industry Confederation), Anton Francesco Albertoni, Fiera di Genova’s CEO, Roberto Urbani, and UCINA’s General Manager, Marina Stella.

Innovation, a complete product range, and quality: these will be the key-words of the 2010 Genoa Boat Show, an event which over the last fifty years has progressively gained the worldwide leadership and become the international reference point for the recreational boating industry as a whole.

Over two months before its opening day, the Show – which will feature power boats, sailing boats, inflatable boats, engines, technical apparel, accessories, nautical tourism, and services – is expected to host 1,400 exhibitors and 2,300 crafts overall, 500 of which will be on display in the water. Over 36% of exhibitors will come from abroad, proving once more the Show’s international significance. 500 new models will be launched at the Show. These figures bear witness to the Show’s liveliness: against a general economic scenario that is forcing companies to implement highly selective commercial strategies, Genoa Boat Show keeps strengthening its position as an unmissable event for all market operators.
