Wade Pearce | Asia Working Group | Southeast Asia Yachting Conference

This episode explores how the ICOMIA Asia Working Group is addressing fragmentation across Southeast Asia’s yachting ecosystem. Wade Pearce shares insights on aligning marina standards, improving cross-border collaboration, and strengthening industry communication. With infrastructure largely privately owned and regulatory frameworks inconsistent, the discussion highlights the need for unified data, standard operating procedures, and stronger government engagement. Ahead of the Southeast Asia Yachting Conference 2026, the conversation underscores how collaboration, market education, and shared platforms can unlock sustainable growth, improve client experience, and accelerate investment across emerging Asian marine markets.Key PointsFragmentation limits growth across Southeast Asia marine markets Standardisation and data-sharing key to industry maturity Collaboration drives long-term commercial and ecosystem valueEliteMarinas supports the marina series on the ICOMIA Podcasts.
