The annual Christofle Asia Boating Awards show is widely known as the region's premier event for recognizing the efforts of boat builders, marinas, clubs and individuals in creating a diverse and exciting boating community. It has also become a must-attend event for Asia's jet set.
One observation is that Asian companies have completely taken over the award ceremony with more about 11 awards in their favor. i wonder when India will come back with some of these prestigious. i guess its too early for India as the market is still very small and has a long way to go, but i am sure that India too will be there at the top very soon.
talking about the awards, international manufacturers and retailers and the customers should recognize the talent available in Asian countries and should also be careful about the kind of competition in the coming future.
