The classic boat fair in Gothenburg is being shut down after this year's edition, reports Göteborgs-Posten.
The fair has been arranged for over 60 years, but lack of profitability means it will be held for the last time in just over two weeks.
According to Benny Karlsson, commercial manager at Svenska Mässan, the fair has been running at a loss in recent years.
You may not buy a boat on the internet, but everything around boat life is moving more and more into e-commerce, he says to GP.
Summa summarum, it means that the conditions for making a profitable boat fair for us have disappeared. The last boat fairs we've done, where costs have exceeded revenues.
