The Thailand International Boat Show 2024 (TIBS)

The Thailand international boat show 2024 (TIBS) will take place at the Royal Phuket Marina between 11 – 14 January 2024, with over 6,000 visitors and more than 100 exhibitors expected to attend. The Thai Yachting Business Association has come onboard as the Supporting Authority, with Royal Phuket Marina as the host sponsor. Organised by JAND Events, a trading division of JAND Group, the event is supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Thailand (MOTST), Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), demonstrating support for the government’s yacht tourism initiative.

Industry specialist Wade also owns and runs Thai Marine Guide has come onboard as an Official Supplier to the Thailand International Boat Show. Pearce has also joined the show as a consultant and brand ambassadornad he will be in charge of the Thailand Yachting Conference that will be taking place on the 10th January 2024. More details on this conference will be announced soon.

Pearce's network and experience speaks for itself as he successfully produced the first Singapore Yachting Festival, a 4-day event held at one 15 Marina in April 2023. This along with the highly successful SEA Yachting Conference, supported by APSA, that saw over 150 industry professionals come together to discuss relevant issues for the boating industry in Asia.

Pearce is looking forward to working with the organisers of the TIBS.  “I really enjoy working with the boating industry in both the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand, I hope I’ll be able to amplify Thailand’s progress, products, services as well as promote it wonderful cruising grounds to the worldwide boating community. Thailand is now a mature yachting market in Southeast Asia, and although JAND Events is new to the boating scene, I’ve been impressed by the way they have reached out to exhibitors and now the show nhas strong support from the local and regional business, with most of the berths already taken. I am confident TIBS will be a stellar event and the conference will positively communicate Thailand’s current position on all aspects of yachting.”

Targeting those with an interest in boating and luxury lifestyle, the organisers are looking forward to welcoming wealthy jet-setters from overseas and local boating enthusiasts to the second edition where yachts of all sizes, both power and sail, will be on display in-the-water. The four-day event will showcase the best of Phuket to the world, with new exhibitor pavilions and visitor activities on a scale not seen before.
