The 2024 Sydney International Boat Show generated $353m in total economic output, according to Boating Industry Association Ltd (BIA) chief executive officer Andrew Scott. The event, held in August at Darling Harbour, was analysed through an independent economic assessment.
“The Sydney International Boat Show attracted 42,000 attendees, and there were thousands more enjoying the non-ticketed areas where our Discover Boating activities were accessible to the general public,” says Scott. “The social value and impact is important to BIA, and it was great to see 87 percent of attendees surveyed agree the event helps promote boating as a social and healthy family activity.”
Nearly 200 exhibitors participated, presenting a diverse range of boating activities, including paddle, power, and sail, over the course of the four-day event, which also played a role in increasing job opportunities.
