Thailand Yacht Show and the Phuket RendezVous to merge for 2019

Two of the biggest luxury lifestyle events in Phuket, the Thailand Yacht Show and the Phuket RendezVous,  have merged to form the Thailand Yacht Show & RendezVous for the coming January 2019.

Set to be hosted 10th to 13th January 2018 at the Royal Phuket Marina, the Thailand Yacht Show & RendezVous is a joint project by Verventia Pte Ltd, owner of the Thailand Yacht Show; Asia RendezVous and Royal Phuket Marina.

The move was precipitated by a request earlier in the year from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to gather the industry together in one major event in Thailand so as to demonstrate united support for the government’s yacht tourism initiative.

At the same time, since the announcement in August of a new Phuket Yacht Show, the yachting industry voiced their strong opinion that there should only be one boat show and requested just such a “get together”. The three organisers were able to come to an agreement in principle last week to merge the Phuket Yacht Show team into the already-announced Thailand Yacht Show & Rendezvous.

Andy Treadwell explained: “It’s obvious that we had to make this agreement, and great that we’ve been able to do so in a relatively short space of time – entirely thanks to the industry coming together and getting everyone to agree. The TAT, our partners and main sponsor of the Thailand Yacht show, also asked us earlier in the year to get everyone working together instead of competing and dividing the industry. We’re all now looking forward to getting on with the job, and building this event over the next few years into a proper international marketing platform for the yachting industry and for Thailand as a world-class yacht tourism destination”.

Gael Burlot added: “We are very pleased to have everyone on board and a clear plan to develop the show after a successful 2018 edition. A key highlight to kick-off the Thailand Yacht Show and RendezVous on 9th January will be the Christofle Yacht Style Awards 2019 after a memorable first edition this year. The luxury industries are starting to prosper again in this region, and with the right collaborative promotion in the right strategic places like Thailand, the yachting industry should start to see significant growth in this beautiful part of the world, where there is so much opportunity.”

Gulu Lalvani, Chairman of Royal Phuket Marina, said “I am delighted to be welcoming the combined teams to work together to produce the best boat show ever in Phuket at RPM in January. The industry and the government can rest assured that I personally and all my staff will be doing our best to make sure that this show achieves our common objective – to help make Phuket and Thailand the central marina hub for the whole of Asia.”

The Thailand Yacht Show & Rendezvous will take place from 10th– 13th January 2019, at the Royal Phuket Marina in Phuket.

Aditus Makes Splashy Debut as the Official Sponsor of Phuket Rendezvous 2018

Aditus, the world’s first luxury access platform for crypto-affluents, made its debut on a public stage as an official partner of the Phuket Rendezvous 2018, held from the 4th to 7th of January. The marine and luxury lifestyle showcase attracted more than 6,000 visitors from all over South East Asia and Europe to the award-winning Royal Phuket Marina for four consecutive days of seafaring glitz, glamour and lavish parties.

The event showcased over 100 luxury merchants including yacht brokers, high-end property developers, bespoke travel organisers and hotels. A highlight was the 45 on-water yachts and five superyachts which were moored off Koh Rang Noi. Exclusive luxury villas and supercars from Ferrari, Lamborgini, Maclaren, were also proudly on display.

Aditus is a decentralised lead-generation and marketing platform for luxury merchants; and for users, a privacy-centric access and transaction platform. Through the Aditus app, crypto-affluents could access the most exclusive products and services globally through their smartphones. The Aditus booth at Phuket Rendezvous was a hive of activity as the interaction between fiat affluents (HNWI), luxury purveyors and the Aditus team proved to be a mutually rewarding one during one-to-one appointments and intimate cocktail sessions.

Julian Peh, CEO and co-founder of Aditus, says that he could not imagine a better setting to illustrate what the Aditus experience entailed. He also provided his insights on the topic of Virtual Currencies: An Insider’s Perspective when he sat down for an interview with Phuket-based radio station Live 89.5 during the showcase.

“What is clear is that with the continued influx of capital into crypto-currencies, crypto-currency values and the numbers of crypto-affluents will continue to increase,” says Peh. “The face to face meetings at our booth and the live demos of our product directly to the affluent customers here was invaluable in promoting Aditus. There was tremendous interest in Aditus, and we also received a lot of valuable customer feedback. What is for certain is that we now have a community with new wealth that luxury merchants simply cannot afford to ignore. Aditus is first in the market to serve crypto-affluents and is well-placed to ride this rising trend upwards.”

Phuket Rendezvous Event CEO, Gael Burlot, agrees with Peh’s assessment as he announced that eight yachts were sold as well as many luxury properties during the four-day event. Transactions at the show exceeded USD23 million with more transactions expected in the post-event period.
