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.
