On 25^th October, Hong Kong BIA participated in the “Asia-Pacific Yacht Industry High-Level Forum” organised by the Macau Yacht Show. The Forum covered 3 areas: Developing the Sailing Yacht Economy, Yachting in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), and Yachting and Marine Economic Development.

The Keynote speaker was Tong Shing, President of the Hong Kong Sailing Federation, (Bluefin Sea Sports –HKBIA member) on the development of the sailing yacht economy. It was then followed with a panel discussion on the development of the yacht industry in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and the Development in the Marine Industry. Lawrence Chow (Chairman), gave a speech on the potential benefits to the industry within the GBA and how Hong Kong could be the key player in the overall strategy. He also highlighted the bottleneck the industry faces due to the lack of moorings and how this could affect the overall GBA strategy. The forum was concluded with speech from Andy Treadwell on the key elements that are needed to grow boating Treadwell believes that the whole of the industry, from sailboats to superyachts and all the businesses in between and alongside, will only develop if governments understand the huge potential economic impact and social benefits that a developing boating industry would bring. 

Collaboration is the key to development, and if key industry players can work together and lobby governments in the right way, then the market will flourish.

2019 年 10 月25日本會參與由澳門遊艇展銷會主辦的「2019 亞太遊艇行業（澳門）高峰論壇」。舉辦地點為澳門勵庭海景酒店。論壇就議題開展主題演講和小組討論並涵蓋三大範疇：

1. “發展帆船遊艇經濟 (Developing the Sailing Yacht Economy)
2. “大灣區遊艇產業發展 (Yachting in the Greater Bay Area (GBA)); 和
3. "海洋經濟發展 (Yachting and Marine Economic Development).

主講嘉賓為 香港㠶船運動總會 唐裔盛會長 (Bluefin Sea Sports - 香港遊艇業總會會員) 講述帆船遊艇經濟發展. 接著是討論遊艇業在大灣區的發展及海洋業的發展。我們的周基倫主席講述遊艇業在大灣區的潛在利好因素及香港如何在整體策略下可成為關健參與者。他提及到由船繄泊位不足,形成樽頸效應，這現象怎樣影響大灣區的整體策略。論壇由Mr. Andy Treadwell總結提升遊艇業 的主要原素。他相信無論船隻的大小, 本土和海外，要發展就必須有當地政府明白這巨大潛在的經濟效應和社會利益。

衷誠合作是有利發展的主要因素，我們業界成員齊心合作，與政府反映和溝通，定必令市場、行業蓬勃。

Lawrence Chow attended the ICOMIA Congress in Split, Croatia as the Hong Kong BIA representative. The Congress proved to be an effective forum for discussions and updates on the global marine industry and Hong Kong is now an active participant along with the China Cruise & Yacht Industry Association (CCYIA.

In general, there was a common thread through the discussions, which focused on the growth of the charter and boat sharing sectors along with how spending habits have begun to shift. The congress started off with representatives of the Croatian Government and ICOMIA committee members sharing updates and reinforcing the importance of the marine industry to the local economy. Over the course of the week the various Committee Meetings include:

Grow Boating Committee:  The forum covered topics such as nurturing boating as a lifestyle rather than just selling a product, and transformation of the market and the need to engage with Millennials. General statistics of boat purchases were presented, along with programmes that different countries have initiated in order to engage with the public to Grow Boating in their region.

Exporters Committee: Focused on exporting and importing marine products from Croatia and gave key statics, such as the business of chartering in Croatia accounts for 40% of the global charter fleet. Major companies involved in the boating industry were reviewed along with a large number of rib manufactures. The effects of the US-China Trade War and Brexit were also discussed.

Technical Committee: Topics included yacht charter policies in Turkey and the new Regulatory Reference Guide (RRG) that will be available through the ICOMIA website.

Marinas Subcommittee: This was an overview of markets and marinas, with CCYIA and CBITA (China) reporting there are now 114 marinas in China. ICOMIA is joining the World Tourism Organisation in order to grow nautical tourism and the group looked at changes in the charter industry from B2C to C2C. The next World Marinas Conference will be at P&O Marinas in Dubai.

Superyacht Committee: Identified the need to get accurate figures on number of Superyachts and discussions included NOx limits and MARPOL V which gives guidelines on prevention of pollution by garbage from ships.

Statistics Committee: The updated statistics book will include global turnover figures and ICOMIA will partner with Powerstats.

Environment Committee: Looked at developing a paper for best environmental practice and developing a position paper on end of service for lifeboats and identifying the scale of the problem. They also looked at gathering information from MIA’s on how to deal with/minimize risk on extreme weather and produce position papers on invasive species, solutions/alternatives for teak and banned chemicals.

Next congress:  19-22 May 2020, Zhuhai, China

ICOMIA has recommended that Hong Kong host the International Marinas Group (IMG) Conference in conjunction with a marina tour, before the ICOMIA Congress in Zhuhai next year.

“The IMG marina tour in Croatia 2019 was organized exceptionally well, involving the ministry of commerce, ministry of the sea, and the ministry of tourism for Croatia. ICOMIA members helped convey the importance and impact of the industry to tourism and the local economy. Both the government officials and ICOMIA members had shared what they were going to discuss prior to the talk. It helped having an international body share the importance of the industry across the globe. It is hoped that Hong Kong can provide a similar marina tour in the GBA and invite the government to be involved with the conference.

Future ICOMIA Congresses will be held in Sweden 2021, Toronto 2022, and Turkey 2023.

The Hong Kong BIA now has 42 signed-up member companies, and is in a strong position to expand and develop going forward.

HKBIA現在已有42間公司註冊成為會員，並有望在未來繼續擴展和邁步向前

The Hong Kong Boating Industry Association (Hong Kong BIA) is pleased to welcome the ICOMIA Executive Committee to Hong Kong. The International Council of Marine Industry Associations - ICOMIA - is the international trade association representing the global marine industry since 1966.ICOMIA brings together national marine industry associations in one global organisation and represents them at an international level, presenting a strong and united voice when dealing with issues challenging the industry.

香港遊艇業協會（HKBIA）很高興歡迎ICOMIA的執行委員會來到香港。國際航海業協會- ICOMIA--是自1966年以來代表全球航海業的國際貿易協會。ICOMIA

各個國家的航海業協會匯集在一個全球組織中，並在國際層面上代表它們，當遇到對此行業的各種挑戰時，發表強大而團結的聲音。

Hong Kong’s newly established Hong Kong BIA recently joined ICOMIA and is now one of the 35 national associations across the world that are full members of the organisation. This includes the vast majority of the industrialised countries from North America across to Japan and China and from Finland down to New Zealand.

香港新成立的HKBIA最近加入了ICOMIA，現在更是該組織全球35個正式成員之中的其中一個。這包括絕大多數工業化國家，從北美到日本和中國，從芬蘭到新西蘭。

Hong Kong is considered to be one of Asia’s most mature Pleasure Boating markets, and the establishment of the Hong Kong BIA has brought the industry together to unite members, provide up-to-date information on the industry, and initiate researchon the economic, environmental and social impacts of the marine leisure industry. By working with other related associations, the Hong Kong BIA aims to be a comprehensive voice for the industry when communicating with government departments, and to create professional guidelines and standards aimed at making recreational boating safer and more environmentally friendly.

香港被認為是亞洲最成熟的遊艇市場之一，HKBIA的成立使該行業匯聚在一起，成員團結一致，提供有關行業的最新信息，並開展經濟研究，海事休閒產業對環境和社會的影響。通過與其他相關協會合作，HKBIA的目標是在與政府部門溝通時成為行業中的代言人，並製定專業指導方針和標準，旨在使休閒遊艇更安全，更環保。

Hong Kong BIA members will have an opportunity to meet with ICOMIA’s Executive Committee on Thursday 28 March at a special dinner to be held at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. Andrea Razeto, President, will lead the 10-ten member team that includes Vice Presidents YP Loke (Asia) and Sara Anghel (Canada) and representatives from the USA, UK, EU and Australia.

HKBIA成員將有機會於3月28日星期四在皇家香港遊艇會舉行的特別晚宴上與ICOMIA執行委員會面。總裁Andrea Razeto將領導10個成員團隊，其中包括副總裁YP Loke（亞洲）和Sara Anghel（加拿大）以及來自美國，英國，歐盟和澳洲的代表。

With the support of members throughout the world, and in conjunction with the appropriate associations, ICOMIA lobbies international authorities and major organisations, publishes documents and guidelines and produces tools to facilitate the growth of the industry. It is hoped that Asia will play a stronger role in ICOMIA going forward. In a recent report on Asia, ICOMIAstated that “Asia is the main growth area in the world for the leisure marine industry. For the past 30 years most Asian economies have been growing, and in the past ten years the GDP in most countries has increased at an average rate of 5% to 10% per annum, far higher than those of Europe and the USA. As a result, rapidly rising living standards are creating a new middle class in Asia that has a growing disposable income to spend on leisure activities.”

在全世界的成員支持下，並與適當的協會並肩一起，ICOMIA遊說國際機構和主要組織，出版文件和指南，並製作工具以促進該行業的發展。希望亞洲將在未來的ICOMIA中發揮更大的作用。在最近的亞洲報告中，ICOMIA表示“亞洲是世界休閒海事產業的主要增長點。在過去30年中，大多數亞洲經濟體一直在增長，在過去十年中，大多數國家的國內生產總值平均每年增長5％至10％，遠高於歐洲和美國。因此，急速提高的生活水平正在亞洲創造一個新的中產階級，其可支配收入的增長將用於休閒活動。”

The Hong Kong BIA was created to support and develop leisure marine activities and the leisure marine industry in Hong Kong in a professional, safe and sustainable way that allows everyone to enjoy boating and water sports.

HKBIA之創立是為了支持和發展香港的休閒海事產業，以一種專業，安全和可持續的方式，讓每個人都可以享受船艇玩樂和水上運動。
