Spearheaded by the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) and supported by NMMA, the ICOMIA ASIA PROJECT is an initiative to identify and understand obstacles to growth in Asia by working with the industry and authorities to create recommendations on how to develop a friendly recreational boating environment in the region. To kick off Phase One, sponsors are needed to gain efficient funding. Phase One of the Project will focus on the following nine countries: Brunei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

The Phase One Report will detail, where possible, the following information for each of the countries: national statistics, industry SWOT analysis, recreational marine infrastructure, manufacture, equipment, importers and dealers, repair facilities, marinas, boating clubs and mooring facilities, barriers to trade such as taxation and import/export requirements as well as registration and regulations.

Sponsors not only receive this invaluable research for free, but they have the opportunity to comment in advance on deliverables as each country’s individual report is drafted, right-up to the final Report’s industry-wide publication and sale in 2017; allowing Sponsors to obtain added value for their market sector. Research can then be tailored to benefit a Sponsor’s current and future business activities as the Report will provide insights and recommendations - not just statistics.
