MYS 2022: Monaco Yacht Show's Gaelle Tallarida Reveals Show Secrets
With the Monaco Yacht Show in full swing, we had the pleasure of speaking to the driving force behind the show itself, Managing Director, Gaelle Tallarida, on what visitors can expect from the show, and the exciting opportunities on offer.
One of the most prominent additions to the show this year is the Sustainability Hub; intended to allow eco-conscious brands connect with one another and discuss solutions for greener yachting.
“The yacht show has always been involved in raising awareness of the environment in the local community, but also the yachting community”, says Tallarida.
“We really thought it was time to produce an exhibition surrounding sustainable solutions.”
Another integral part of the show is the appropriately named Adventure Area, providing visitors an insight into luxury lifestyle and entertainment, and the ways in which owners and guests can enjoy their experience at sea to the fullest, both on board and in the water.
“The focus of the area is what yachts can bring in terms of lifestyle and to show clients what you can do and enjoy with a boat with tenders, toys and vehicles, from the Med, to the Caribbean, to the North Pole.”
Despite being the world’s yachting epicentre, Monaco Yacht Show are still passionate about creating new ways to surprise yacht veterans and future owners.
“It's really important for us to always improve. Our exhibitors always raise awareness that it’s the key event of the year for them and their clients to showcase their yachts and latest launches. We work hand in hand with them. With our Discover pass, our private clients can access VIP entrances and services, including restaurant bookings and car services. The show is at their disposal.”
To conclude, Tallarida reveals some of the most interesting exhibitions at the show this year, particularly for those who want to take a hands-on approach in meeting the individuals behind the designs.
“It’s difficult to say. We have so many things to discover. We have the design hub, where you can meet the greatest yacht designers in the world and learn about innovation and design. I think this is a good start for those who want to enter the yachting world.”
