The Boat Show towards full house, full of orders for the next three years

by admin

Italian shipyards and companies have confirmed order books for the next 2-3 years. This was underlined by Marina Stella, general manager of Confindustria nautica, demonstrating the growth that the sector is experiencing in times of pandemic, while preparing the preparation of the 61st Genoa Boat Show, which will be held between 16 and 21 September next , with spaces already sold out from June for exhibitors. And if the association, through the company The boat shows, is in full organizational activity, even the city of Genoa, starting from the institutions to get to the hoteliers, is already taking steps to facilitate the reception of visitors who will arrive in September. All obviously in line with the current anticovid regulations, as happened last year, with the 60th edition, held regularly and safely, and the only sector event in attendance to have taken place in Europe in 2020. For this’ year there is a green pass for access to trade fairs and ticket sales are online on salonenautico.com, where you can also book additional services, such as parking.

The city is getting ready

A factor linked to the pandemic is at the center of the first intervention relating to the Nautical 2021. In the blue pavilion of the former Fiera del Mare, the one designed by Jean Nouvel, the largest vaccination hub in Liguria had been set up. To make room for the show, as planned, the hub was moved in early August: split into two separate centers created ad hoc. The Nautico, moreover, will be one of the promotional events of the TravelSafety campaign of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the Ice Agency, as well as the vaccination campaign of the Liguria Region. As usual, the Nouvel pavilion will host pneumatic boats and outboard motors on the ground floor and, on the upper floor, the stands for components and accessories.

The hotels

In the city, meanwhile, hoteliers are already absorbing bookings from exhibitors. «We expect – affirms Gianluca Faziola, at the helm of Federalberghi Genova – a very high level show, we hope for an edition with a bang. The participation of exhibitors is important and reservations, for us, are already positive, even if in line with the historical moment of the pandemic. The vast majority of exhibitors have already moved with hotel bookings while we expect those of visitors to arrive mainly in the 10 days preceding the event. It’s normal, especially at a time like this. “

Laura Gazzolo, hotelier and regional tourism coordinator of Confindustria Liguria confirms the trend: «As regards the 4-star hotels upwards, sellers, dealers and concessionaires who will exhibit at the show are already organizing reservations. Although it must be said that in recent years, and even more so with the Covid emergency, hotel attendances for the show are increasingly reaching the last ».

Events

Meanwhile, the Municipality, the Chamber of Commerce and trade associations are starting the preparation of the events outside the fair. Among these, there is an exhibition on the tapestries of transatlantic liners, in the building of the former stock exchange in Genoa; and the possibility, for those who buy a Nautico ticket, to have a city pass for visits to exhibitions, museums, the aquarium and the Doge’s Palace (which from 9 September will host an anthology dedicated to the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher) .
