400 plus exhibitors, 50% builders; 40% equipment and parts and nearly 10% related lifestyle companies, in other words a comprehensive boat show.
New media partners in CBN Weekly and The Hurun Report promise wider and more complete coverage of the show, especially to China’s ‘rich list’ than ever before.
