YARE, the international aftersales and refit event in Viareggio has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Celebrating its 10 year anniversary, YARE was scheduled to be heldc from March 18-20. It will now take place from November 4-6.
The organisers, NAVIGO released the following statement:
“In light of the developments in the international situation regarding the COVID-19 virus, the Management Board of the organising company NAVIGO held a meeting for an evaluation and monitoring of the situation.
”Tuscany remains a completely safe area for business and tourist travel and the authorities have managed protocols and actions that have been reported among the best in Italy, also by medical and scientific institutions.
”Despite this, the recent decisions to apply restrictions on flights and travels from foreign countries to Italy do not allow to carry out the 10th edition of YARE to its full potential, not being able to count on the presence of all guests and companies, coming from 23 different European and non-European countries.
”Therefore NAVIGO has decided for a postponement of YARE to 4-6 November 2020.
”A difficult choice, as you will understand, but necessary to best meet the needs of all those who believe in YARE together with us.
With its dates in close proximity to METS, one wonders whether this is a wise choice of dates.
