Korea International Boat Show
The Korea International Boat Show (KIBS) is one of the three biggest boat shows in Asia, representing the Korean marine leisure industry. The latest edition of KIBS was held jointly from 19 to 22 May 2016, at KINTEX, with the associated Asia Marine Conference. Despite the Sewol ferry disaster and the rising public concern on maritime safety, many exhibitors remained confident about the Korean market's potential. The convention brought together 240 exhibitors and buyers from 40 countries, and occupied a gross exhibition area of 57,557 m2.
