BANGKOK, 19 December 2023: Showcasing a lineup of luxury yachts, superyachts and private jets, the Thailand International Boat Show – A Luxury Lifestyle Event, is set to boost Phuket’s economy and high-end tourism from 11 to 14 January 2024.
Thousands of affluent yachting fans are expected to attend the show, generating a minimum of THB500 million for the Thai marine leisure and luxury lifestyle industries.
With many boats and lifestyle brands exhibiting from around the world, organisers JAND Events aim to grow Phuket’s appeal as a destination for investment and business amongst the international community while also working closely with the Thai government and industry stakeholders to drive yacht tourism and cement Thailand’s position as Southeast Asia’s leisure marine hub.
“The show has become a platform that will drive sales and business for the marine and luxury industries and attract international investors keen to do business and live in Phuket,” commented JAND Event CEO David Hayes.
Innovations for the 2024 show include the inaugural Thailand Yachting Conference – a B2B platform for ideas exchange amongst local and international business people – and the Robb Report Thailand Best Of The Best Yachting Awards Gala – a celebration of the best yachts and brands.
