The Monaco Yacht Show 2009, the 19th edition of the show, is already fully booked up. That is quite stunning considering the economic slowdown. But it constitutes that the Monaco Yacht Show is still the leading high-luxury yachting show in the world. As told by show speakers, demand from the yachting industry has been higher than last year. Lots of companies wanted to book larger stands, so the number of double-decker pavilions was doubled, but that still wasn’t enough. There is a long waiting list for the exhibitors wanting larger exhibition areas as of this writing.

The show continues to concentrate on luxury yachts, but it also wants to make sure the yachting industry recognizes its social responsibility. Therefore, the show and its exhibitors have committed themselves to protecting the environment by paying eco-taxes to the carbon neutral initiative. The payments will be used to finance environmental projects all around the globe. In addition to that, the Monaco Yacht Show has announced it will print all of its documents on recycled paper.

The MYS 2009 will be held from September 23 to 26, 2009.
