YPI Group Increases its Asia-Pacific Market Presence at the Hainan Rendez-Vous

    ST TROPEZ, FRANCE, April 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As Asia's one and only private aviation lifestyle exhibition, Hainan Rendez-Vous in only its second year is quickly ingratiating itself on the yachting scene and those keen to network in Asia's ever increasing high net-worth society.

Analysis of the Forbes rich list revealed that 2010 witnessed a huge spike in Asia-Pacific billionaires, the sharpest regional rise seen on the Forbes list that year with 332 billionaires in 2010, a rise of almost a 100 since 2009's tally. These figures are reflected in the Asia-Pacific's increasing interest in superyachts for sale and those available for a crewed yacht charter. This increase in the number of super yacht charter visiting Asian shores has forced the Governing bodies to quickly try and accommodate these increased numbers and facilitate infrastructure expansion for the growing demand.

YPI Group CEO Bertrand Vogele commented on the issue, "YPI has been working with an Asian clientele for almost all of its 40 years in existence. However in the last few years we have noticed a significant increase in the number of requests from clients in the region asking about yachts to buy and charter."

For the YPI Group this news further underlines the importance of increasing their presence and growth across the Asia-Pacific market in order to meet client demand in both sale and luxury yacht charter. CEO Bertrand Vogele explained, "Bringing the superyacht AMBROSIA to this event shows how serious we are about bringing quality product to clients here."

One of the largest and technically advanced yachts ever launched the Ambrosia is a custom built yacht with many fine qualities. Built by the renowned Benetti yard in Viarggio, Italy the interior layout was completed by award winning French designer Francois Zuretti ensuring the AMBROSIA provides guests with exceptional design, comfort and space.

Olivier Besson as YPI's representative in China commented, "We are very pleased to be showing AMBROSIA during Hainan," he says. "She is a magnificent yacht and exactly what so many of our Asian clientele are looking for right now." The AMBROSIA is available for sale and offers a great opportunity for investment as a super yacht charter.
