and we have a growing line-up of boat brands from around the
world, complemented by businesses and brands from luxury
real estate, health and wellness and more,” said David Hayes,
CEO of organisers JAND Events.
“We’re working closely with the local and central government,
and are aligned on the national agenda to reopen the country
to international visitors. We support the government’s plans
and together we’ll help to shine the light again on Phuket and
Thailand’s world-class marine tourism.”
Phuket has led the way in opening up to international travellers
and from 1 November vaccinated people from 46 low-risk
countries will be able to travel to key destinations across
Thailand without having to quarantine. Thailand has set out
its stall to restart international tourism and organisers of the
Thailand International Boat Show are working hand-in-hand
with stakeholders to achieve this.
Thai government agencies have been quick to endorse the
event. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports and the Tourism
Authority of Thailand have given their approval and support
of the event, and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition
Bureau have also endorsed the show in particular for its drive
to attract international visitors – hundreds of which have
already committed to attending. Phuket authorities, led by the
Governor of Phuket, have also given their backing and voiced
support for the show in what is a strong public-private sector
collaborative effort.
In addition to boats and all things marine, visitors can expect
luxury cars, motorcycles, watches, fashion and more at the
show. Thailand’s growing prowess as a health and wellness hub
sees a number of companies focusing on traditional and herbal
wellness as well as revolutionary new-wave medicine and
healing at the show, led by StemCell 21 and the IntelliHealth
Plus Rejuvenation Clinic.
High-end realtor Coldwell Banker will be one of the many
companies showcasing the luxury real estate. With space at a
84
premium in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, many visitors
are drawn to the upscale villas and properties that Phuket and
the southern Thai isles have to offer, combined with the marine
leisure lifestyle on their doorstep.
Mixing business with pleasure, organisers promise something
for everyone at the show. Daily entertainment and a bustling
boardwalk offering al fresco dining together with some pop-up
surprises will ensure visitors are spoilt for choice. On Children’s
Day (Saturday 8 January) there will be lots of family activities
and fun to keep the kids happy and busy. There will also be
a three-day yachting conference at neighbouring Phuket Boat
Lagoon marina, which will feature a number of influential
figures from the yachting industry, as well as networking events
and a Gala Dinner hosted by Intercontinental Phuket Resort on
Saturday 8 January.
The Thailand International Boat Show promises to be a
“can’t miss” event and will be held 6-9 January, 2022 at
Royal Phuket Marina. For more information, visit www.
