Under the patronage of P&O Marinas and initiated and co-organised by Fabulous Yachts, the focus of The International Superyacht Summit has, up to now, been the development of the UAE as a preferred winter destination for superyachts on the migratory trail. This year we look further afield and encourage the industry to take a collaboratory approach throughout the region. The 2020 edition of The International Superyacht Summit will introduce two new themes; the first new theme is how superyacht marina developments empower lifestyle and tourism and the role of the upscale yachting industry in new and consolidated tourist destinations. The second new theme is the emerging trends in superyacht ownership and how builders can accommodate the needs of an ever-younger generation of owners and charterers. Central to this trend is also the growing environmental awareness of these younger generations and the higher intolerance of unsustainable practices. The International Superyacht Summit Forum To make the summit an ongoing event throughout the year, we have launched a forum to be found on the summit's website. Please express your opinions and give your advice on superyacht industry matters! Good ideas and constructive advice will go a long way to help the development of a superyacht friendly environment in the UAE and further afield.
