The Barcelona International Boat Show will put on a large floating exhibition for its 60th anniversary, with the addition of the Marina Port Vell to the traditional Fusta and España docks as part of its exhibition area. Thus, from 12 to 16 October, it will display the main innovations in the sector on water and on land, with the aim of promoting its growth and international expansion.

The Barcelona International Boat Show closes its 59th edition today with a large number of public and professional visitors who, throughout its six days, have once again filled Barcelona's Port Vell with intense business, leisure and family activity.

Major national and international brands, sector professionals, and sailing enthusiasts will take part in the Boat Show, which will once again fill Barcelona's Port Vell with activities, boats, and novelties in an edition marked by sustainability, the revitalisation of business, and the return of nautical trade fair events.

Josep Antoni Llopart has an extensive experience at heading several events at Fira de Barcelona. In addition to the Boat Show, he is director of the pre-owned vehicle show Salón Ocasión, the International Caravaning Show and NiceOne Barcelona, formerly Barcelona Games World. Llopart is very excited about "the challenge of directing one of the flagship events of the fair institution and a European benchmark, at a key moment for the industry".
