Aegean Yacht Festival 2021

The annual meeting of industry professionals and prospective clients, where thousands of visitors have the opportunity to admire products and services in a uniquely landscaped space.

About the event

Combined with seminars, new product launches, maritime activities and demonstrations, the Aegean Yachting Festival in 2020 hosted more than 20 exhibitors and more than 50 boats from Greece and Southern Mediterranean countries. The exhibition due to hard restrictions of the pandemic had over 500 unique visitors and was the only exhibition of the kind which took place in the Southern Mediterranean in 2020.

The Aegean Yachting Festival 2021 will be supported through a nationwide as well as international advertising campaign that includes television and radio ads, print newspaper and magazine ads, as well as the online and social media advertising.

The press conference will be held, as well as press releases in Greek and international media.

The event will also be publicised internationally through the established international public relations of the Southern Aegean Region, the Municipality of Rhodes, the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Maritime affairs and insular policy, Greek Tourism Organization (EOT), Rodos hotel Association, and the Dodecanese Chamber of Commerce who support the event.

A collaborative effort between organisers, sponsors, supporters, and exhibitors to make the event grow each year and establish itself as an international boat show in the broader Mediterranean region in the near future.

Objectives

The purpose of this Festival is to promote the region of the Southern Aegean and the island of Rhodes, as the locomotive of the country’s maritime tourism and the crossroads of the countries of the south-eastern Mediterranean, with the ultimate aim of becoming an institution for the coming years and a staging point of maritime tourism.

The benefits to our region will be manifold, as maritime tourism is on the rise and the public choosing it for recreation, worthy of the expectations of the Rhodians and islanders around.
