Still, it seems some of the news coming from the region is that incentives are required – with Island Global Yachting Group offering an incentive for any yacht purchased at the show to be guaranteed one of their exclusive slips at the newly opening Anchor Marina, a pretigious high profile dockspace in Dubai.  Furthermore, any visitor to their booth who fills out an enquiry card is given a free weeks dockage.  We’ve seen some creative and aggressive incentive packages to help move inventory and keep the flow of sales moving with shows in the US this year.  Is it accurate to say that even in one of the wealthiest luxury-goods buying regions of the world – the buyers are still needing incentive to pull out their checkbooks?  We’ll see the reports on attendance and sales after the show closes next week and see how 2009 has stacked up for DIBS.
