VANCOUVER BOAT SHOW 2015 POST-SHOW RECAP

Vibs Wrap Up

 

Consensus among exhibitors was that this year’s show attracted serious and qualified buyers, the catalyst to driving sales, and new features attracted a new, younger demographic, a positive sign for the industry and future sales pipeline. 

Exhibitor feedback has been positive, with many noting strong sales – both on the concourse and main floor. While torrential rainy  weather from the recent ‘Pineapple Express’ resulted in decreased attendance rates at Granville Island, attendance numbers at BC Place were stronger in comparison to 2014.

29,665 people visited the two venues this year, a 5% decrease from 2014.
