The Salon de Valencia with very low figures in 2018... is the sad, very sad, reality...

The last day of the Valencia Boat Show has been held, a Valencian nautical hall that since October 31 shows a selection of new boats and new of the year, engines, acasillage, accessories and nautical services. The living room has added more than 9,000 visitors in total in the five days of exhibition, who have been able to walk comfortably between the stands thanks to the new layout and expansion in more than 2 meters from the central corridor.

The living room has had a total of 71 exhibitors, who have exhibited about 90 boats in more than 16,000 m2 of exhibition in La Marina de València, including the newly restored Tinglado nº2, which has housed the exhibition to cover.

The new points of restoration of the hand of well-known host companies, as well as the assembly and complementary services, have been some of the points best valued by the exhibitors, in a survey carried out today. 53% of respondents say they would be willing to fully confirm and pay their next edition budget by 31 May 2019 if they were offered a discount and / or increased promotion of the living room. The profile of the visitor, according to the exhibitors, has been local at 60%, national at 30% and international at 10%, especially foreigners resident in the Valencia Community.

In these days a year ago, those responsible for the Valencian nautical sample spoke of 15,000 visitors... today they speak of 9,000 with 70 exhibitors... the accounts with very easy: 40% down, 40 points... simply a barbarity... the Valencia project as a national reference has published its death... Barcelona is very weak, but Valencia is still unable to choose to match, or by far its figures... the City of Condal despite the gravisimal political clysis and the rejection that it means for not a few fans of nautical, has exceeded this year the 230 exhibitors and the 55,000 visitors... very much difference.
