Spring time

摘要

Qnee upon a time boat shows were exclusively held in the winter months. The idea was to give boat builders and suppliers time to meet orders before the summer rush. However, times have definitely changed and these days a growing number of shows are inthe warmer months as well. There are many reasons for this shift, not least being consumers these days are much more geared to instant-gratification. People also want to check out boats closer to the time when they might feel like boating. And there's the choice factor too. Boating now competes against a much wider range of leisure-dollar activities. Just think how cheap airfares have become. Many of us are flying overseas for our holidays. We also have more ways to spend our money, from computers to home entertainment centres, gyms and recreational vehicles (RVs).
