Increased Attendance & Robust Sales Cap Off the 2017 Toronto Boat Show
|
The 59
th
annual Toronto International Boat Show, North
America's largest indoor boat show, saw all signs of positive growth for the boating industry with
a nearly 10% increase in attendance from 70,643 last year to
77,105
attendees in 2017 over the
show's
10-day run,
marking one of the highest-attended shows in the past five years
"The show delivered
its largest and most comprehensive advertising and marketing plan across the province," says show manager Cynthia Hare, "and exhibitors reaped the rewards with not only double-digit attendance growth over the first half of the show, but also
with quality attendees who were eager to spend."

Yogi Jones was our Saturday $100 dealer draw winner. |
Our BUY A BOAT & WIN contest creates incentive for consumers to finalize boat purchases before the end of the show.
Erin Terveld, Keswick ON,
is our 2017 winner! Erin wins $10,000 toward her Bayliner, which she purchased at the show from Quinn's Marina. We will present her cheque in the spring when Erin takes possession of her new boat.
Each day of the show, we also made a random dealer draw from BUY A BOAT & WIN ballots.

 A secondary objective of this program is to generate sales statistics - frequently requested by media. Accuracy of numbers we provide is reliant on exhibitor participation in the program.
This year, the BUY A BOAT & WIN program reported
1,082
boats sold by dealers who participated in the program by submitting ballots for boats sold. In 2016, the program reported 984 boats sold; in 2015, 843 boats; and in 2014, 772 boats.
Thank you to all who participated!
