Our Co-Founder and Leisure Marine Accelerator Mahmoud Itani presents "Yachting in the Middle East"
Last week during the China International Yacht Industry Development Forum 2024, Mahmoud Itani, Co-Founder & Leisure Marine Business Accelerator, was invited to speak about "Yachting in the Middle East". As a key note speaker, Mahmoud addressed the audience about how fast has the Middle East risen to be the "talk of the industry" in recent years, sharing his insight about the market, growing marinas and waterfront projects, and strategic changes to the yachting policies. The attendees included investors, shipyard owners, industry professionals, designers, and architects who all acclaimed the importance of the presentation and how the Middle East has reshaped the yachting scene as we know it.
The Forum highlighted 3 topics: China brands going global, branding, and technological innovation with each having its own select number of speakers experts in their fields. The forum took place during Boating Sanya 2024 that was held in the city's yachting center and marina with over 100 yachts and boats on display.
"I had the incredible privilege of speaking at the forum in Hainan, China." says Mahmoud Itani. "As I prepared to address an audience of CEOs, industry professionals, thought leaders, and investors, I was both excited and humbled by the opportunity to share insights about the yachting market in the Middle East."
