by AIMEX on 6 Oct 2010 The Australian International Marine Export Group (AIMEX) has for the first time organized the Australian Pavilion at Yacht & Boat Korea to be staged in the shipbuilding province of Gyeongsangnam in South Korea, 14-17 October.

AIMEX members Austral Propellers, Bellingham Marine, MultiPanel, Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, VEEM Propellers and Voyager Catamarans realise the potential of the emerging markets within the global marine sector and continue to reinforce their brand presence in Korea.

AIMEX is the peak body for the Australian Marine Export Industry. Its primary purpose is to develop and promote Australia's thriving Marine Industry to the world.

Yacht & Boat Korea will be held in the shipbuilding province of Gyeongsangnam in South Korea and has attracted more than 130 exhibitors from 14 countries.

'Given the incentives provided to companies to attend this show it is a good opportunity to reinforce the Australian Marine Industry and ensure when the Korean market matures we are established in this market place and ready to take advantage of the business that this market is sure to eventuate,' said AIMEX CEO MaryAnne Edwards.

Austrade Seoul will provide on ground support to AIMEX with their attendance at the show and providing translated company profiles to assist AIMEX exhibitors.

This will be the second Korean show for 2010 at which there has been an Australian Pavilion. AIMEX have had a presence in Korea at Korea International Boat Show in Gyeonggi Provence for the past three years.

Yacht & Boat Korea has undertaken a global marketing and promotional strategy to attract international exhibitors and establish Yacht & Boat Korea as the recreational boating and marine economic centrepiece of Namhaeansidae. Key activities will include an international sports fishing competition, Korea International Sports Fishing Game, on October 15-16 hosted by the Gyeongnam Provincial Government.
