SHANGHAI, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2026, the State Council successively approved the 15th Five-Year Plan for Expanding Consumption and the 15th Five-Year Plan for Tourism Powerhouse Construction. Cruise and yacht consumption has been explicitly incorporated into the national strategic layout. The plans propose to "develop cruise and yacht tourism, advance the construction of public yacht marinas, and steadily expand pilot programs for yacht consumption."

At this critical juncture of industrial transformation and upgrading, the 30th China (Shanghai) International Boat Show 2027 & Shanghai International Workboat Show (CIBS2027), an important component of Tourism Plus Shanghai, marks the major milestone of its 30th anniversary. As Asia's longest-running comprehensive boat event, CIBS has kept pace with China's boat industry over the past three decades. In 2027, we embrace the spirit of "Thirty Years of Forging". We will build a full industrial chain covering above-water, surface and underwater sectors, creating a high-standard, far-reaching trade platform for upstream and downstream participants across the industry.
