2032 Brisbane Olympics

/

The 2032 Olympic Games to be hosted by Brisbane, the “River City” , will undoubtedly be a massive drawcard attracting an influx of superyachts to Australia. The successful bid will put Brisbane on the international map and help to increase Australia’s desirability as a destination for superyachts. The Brisbane River gives superyachts the ability to berth in the city which is relatively unique for a host city and very attractive for owners who are expected to relocate their yacht as their private base when they attend the games.

We are into the second half of 2021 and the boating industry is reporting a marked recovery from the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are seeing an impressive rebound, especially in the superyacht market which has gone from strength to strength. Sales of new and second-hand superyachts are at levels comparable to the bumper year of 2018, so there are definitely some positive vibes for the industry.

Given all the ways that COVID-19 has changed and is still changing the world, it is entirely possible that the pandemic is a tipping point for enacting flexible or entirely at-home work schedules. Many companies that have already implemented these flexible working policies such as Global Marine Travel (GMT), have observed worker productivity soar.
