69,000 VISITORS TO LE GRAND PAVOIS LA ROCHELLE 2024 AND A VERY POSITIVE OUTCOME!
With 800 international brands from 33 different countries, 700 boats on display (including 300 afloat), and numerous French, European and world premieres, Le Grand Pavois La Rochelle confirms its status as a business show, a show of new boats, a meeting place for tomorrow’s boating trends, and a benchmark show for French and European boating. In terms of visitor numbers, the international afloat show counted 69,000 visitors, but a rainy Tuesday and, above all, a rainy Sunday deterred visitors who usually come to dream and attend the many events on offer over the weekend. In terms of visitor quality, we can report a very good response to the invitations offered by exhibitors to their prospect files, with an increase in visitors from Brittany, Normandy and Paris, the arrival of first-time buyers and a growing number of foreign visitors.
