Get ready to ride the waves of innovation! The 5th China International Consumer Products Expo just made a splash with the debut of its first Sanya-based pavilion at the Sanya International Yacht Center on the 15th. Spanning a massive 166,800 square meters—with nearly 90% dedicated to water displays—the event, themed 'A Thousand Yachts, Setting Sail for the Future', brought together a captivating mix of static boat exhibits, yacht culture, lifestyle displays, and even yacht-themed wedding showcases. 🚤🌊
Visitors were treated to innovative experiences like 'yacht plus wedding photography' and 'yacht plus deep-sea diving', making the show a hot spot for those who love both luxury and adventure. Adding to the excitement, the United Kingdom—serving as the guest nation—curated a special cultural pavilion that blended rich maritime traditions with modern living. Interactive installations featuring iconic races such as the Volvo Ocean Race and the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race let attendees dive deep into British marine culture and breakthrough maritime technologies. ⚓️
Officials shared a promising outlook for the growing Chinese yacht market. Li Gang, Director of the Market Operation and Consumer Promotion Department at the Ministry of Commerce, highlighted ongoing efforts to boost yacht consumption with supportive policies and infrastructure, while Party Secretary Wang Qiyang underscored Sanya's ambition to become the premier yacht hub in the Asia-Pacific region—already home to over 1,400 registered yachts!
The expo wrapped up with the launch of the 'Sanya Yacht Industry Initiative', a call to global yacht enterprises, industry associations, research institutions, and government bodies to build a dynamic, sustainable ecosystem. This initiative promises to steer the global marine economy towards a future full of innovation and vibrant lifestyle experiences. All aboard for a wave of change! 🚀
