20th Monaco Yacht Show
2010-09-13 13:55
At
the end of every summer, more than 500 companies working in luxury
yachting and its related activities gather in Monaco to show off their latest creations and innovations - and a hundred of the world's most magnificent 25-90m yachts.
Nearly 30,000 participants – private clients, professional visitors,
exhibitors, and media – travel from
every continent to the Principality to attend the show, which for twenty years has remained a major hub of the yachting world and the place where private clients and big business find the best connections.
Despite the recent economic downturn, the 20th edition of the
Monaco Yacht Show is going to be one of the most successful of recent years owing to three major factors: its undisputed position as the leading luxury yachting show, the yachting industry's and
yacht owners' confidence in it, and its role as an unparalleled
networking platform for establishing valuable contacts in a positive and enjoyable atmosphere.
The 9,000m² of stands are fully booked, and even
though the number of double-decker pavilions has been doubled, this has
still not been sufficient to satisfy the entire demand for these
high-visibility exhibition areas. Afloat, the 100 berths available have also been booked - and the organizers already have a long waiting list.
A greener future
Ecological responsibility remains central to the organizers of the 20th show, who are firmly committed to pursuing a policy that they have been developing for many years.
Since 2005, the yacht show has maintained a strong commitment to protecting
the environment by contributing to the Carbon Neutral
initiative through payment of an eco-tax that finances certified
international environmental projects. A further significant feature of this responsible approach is that all the show's public
relations documents are printed on 100% recycled paper. The policy is complemented by the Yacht Show's support of major charities.
The 20th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show is held from September 22 to 25, 2010 in the Principality of Monaco.
