Il Comité permanent du Salon international de l’automobile Foundation ha deciso di non organizzare la prossima edizione del Salone di Ginevra per via delle incertezze che secondo gli organizzatori permeano il settore dell’auto. Il Geneva International Motor Show Qatar si svolgerà – ma sarebbe meglio dire dovrebbe svolgersi – a Doha nel novembre 2025. Cosa che già di per sé fa ridere… il Salone di Ginevra a Doha!
While the February 2024 relaunch edition intended to reposition and perpetuate the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) after a four-year absence due to COVID-19, the Board of the Comité permanent du Salon international de l’automobile Foundation notes that there are too many uncertainties linked to the automotive industry and the eroded attractiveness of the major European shows to take the risk of investing further into the future. “This extremely regrettable decision should not detract from the efforts and determination with which we have tried to regain our success. However, it has to be said that the lack of interest shown by manufacturers in the Geneva Salon in a difficult industry context, the competition from the Paris and Munich shows which are favored by their domestic industry, and the investment levels required to maintain such a show, sound the final blow for a future edition,” stated Alexandre de Senarclens, President of the Comité permanent du Salon international de l’automobile Foundation.
