On 19 January 2015, the Genoa International Boat Show presented its plans for the future of the show. The new format which was introduced in 2014, will strengthen the traditional exhibition areas, which will be flanked by new spaces dedicated to enthusiasts of every kind of water sport.
The 2014 Genoa Boat Show was the first organised by the newly established private enterprise, I Saloni Nautici SpA. The company is owner by UCINA Confindustria Nautica.
“Our industry, our market, our production skills need their own show-window” stated Lamberto Tacoli, who, as vice president with greater seniority, took over the office of President in UCINA Confindustria Nautica after Massimo Perotti recently resigned. “That’s no secret that discussions during the last few months confirmed October for the Genoa Boat Show. The season opens with the project for the 55th edition that UCINA entrusted to I Saloni Nautici, as for the last year’s one, the first with a new formula: President of I Saloni Nautici, Anton Fancesco Albertoni, and Boat Show Manager, Alessandro Campagna, started with an innovation project according to the changed market requirements.”
“The project for the 55th edition of the Genoa International Boat Show is already ahead “ confirms President Albertoni. “The dates have been decided, the organization structure is definite, rent contracts for the exhibition ground have been already clinched.."
The significant work carried out in 2014 to ensure a greater internationalization of the show will continue in 2015: investments for missions of operators and foreign journalists are, in fact, confirmed in the framework of the funding cost by Italian Ministry of Economic Development - Italian Trade Agency (ITA).
