Held during the 2017 Singapore Yacht Show, on 7-8 April 2017 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, Singapore, the ABF is staged in association with ICOMIA, the international trade association representing the global recreational marine industry, and serves as a strategic meeting of industry professionals and regional authorities. This select group gather to present and share insights on the issues and challenges in the development and sustainability of the boating industry in Asia.

The programme for this years’ Asia Boating Forum (ABF – 5-6 April) is fast developing, and there’s no shortage of highlights. Here are just two of the key matters to be discussed:

POLICY DEVELOPMENT IN ASIA
This session showcases efforts in external relations from around the region, to assist key players in the private sector play a role in shaping policy development in their respective countries. Key outcomes will include the development of pro-boating policies and harmonisation of cross-border regulations, enabling the promotion of the region as a single cruising destination.

MARINE ENVIRONMENT & CONSERVATION
Coastal settlements dot the Asian seascape, but maritime environmental management has not been high on the national agenda of many countries. Will a growing yachting industry help change that? The aim of the session is higher awareness of marine conservation and a stronger alignment between boating and the environmental agenda.
