WHY GBA?
The Greater Bay Area (GBA) is poised to become a global leader in sustainable yachting, with projections estimating the yachting industry could contribute ~USD 1.36 billion by 2025, driven by world-class marinas like Nansha and Longcheer and a vibrant consumer base. By 2027, the GBA’s tourism sector, a cornerstone of marine growth, is expected to add ~USD 300 billion to the regional economy, fostering sustainable tourism and job creation. Looking to 2030, the GBA could capture ~20% of the global luxury yacht market (~USD 3.5 billion), advancing eco-friendly maritime innovation. These estimates, based on global industry trends and the GBA’s economic strengths, reflect GBAYCIA’s vision to promote sustainable marine tourism and regional collaboration.
