wakeboarding. The Australian expert, Terry

A growing industry
China's fast growing economy
and the development of yachting infrastructure, such as marinas,
are increasing demand for private boats and water sports.
"China's coastal areas provide the
perfect playground for smaller yachts and water activities. The
current confidence in this sector and the importance of CIBS as a
sales platform is echoed in feedback from both our exhibitors and
the international buyers," said Helena
Gao, Director of Corporate Business Development, Shanghai
UBM Sinoexpo Ltd. The appeal and affordability of small to
mid-sized boats are gaining popularity in China, with local and international companies
using CIBS to target a wealth of interested buyers during the
four-day event.
CIBS 2017 has quickly become the leading platform for the
regional leisure maritime industry attracting local and
international buyers from 53 countries. Additional knowledge
programmes and networking events alongside CIBS will present more
opportunities to an influential gathering, making it an
unparalleled platform to showcase to China's nautical investors and
enthusiasts.
