In a recent article, the South Florida Business Journal highlighted the monumental economic impact of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), one of the most anticipated marine events worldwide. In 2022 alone, FLIBS made waves with significant contributions to the local economy—and 2024 promises to be just as impactful, through sustaining $1.8B in economic output! This year, FLIBS is expected to draw over 100,000 marine enthusiasts to Fort Lauderdale. With 1,000+ exhibitors from all corners of the globe and 1,300 vessels on display across seven unique show locations, it’s clear that FLIBS isn’t just an event; it’s an economic powerhouse. The economic footprint of FLIBS extends well beyond the show itself, bringing substantial revenue to local businesses—from hotels and restaurants to transportation and retail. It supports thousands of jobs in South Florida and elevates the region’s status as a global hub for marine innovation, attracting industry leaders and new investments year after year. For Fort Lauderdale, FLIBS is more than an event; it’s a catalyst for growth, opportunity, and a vibrant marine economy that benefits the entire region. #MarineIndustry #MFS #FinancialServices #YachtingIndustry #SouthFlorida #FLIBS #Economy

📣 Dublin Hospitality Sector Unites: Time for Change! As costs soar and businesses across Dublin struggle to keep their doors open, we at Yamamori are joining the call for action. Rising operational expenses are hitting the hospitality sector, a cornerstone of Dublin's vibrant culture. On October 15th, we’re standing with our fellow businesses to protest against unsustainable costs that are putting the future of our industry at risk. 🔴 What’s Happening? Skyrocketing costs—rent, energy, supplies—are making it increasingly difficult for restaurants, bars, and cafes to stay afloat. These pressures not only threaten jobs but also impact the amazing experiences we love bringing to our community. 💡 Why It Matters For local businesses like us, the current cost environment isn’t just a challenge—it’s unsustainable. Every menu you enjoy, every event you attend, and every meal we prepare depends on the balance between quality and affordability. Without relief, we may lose the heart of what makes Dublin’s hospitality scene so special. 🙌 Support Your Local! We’re asking our community to stand with us. This isn’t just about businesses—it’s about protecting the livelihoods of thousands of workers and ensuring that Dublin’s hospitality scene thrives. If you care about your favourite local spots, join us in raising your voice. Let’s work together for a sustainable future. 🔗 More Info https://lnkd.in/eHu2zenG #SupportHospitality #DublinProtest #TimeForChange #YamamoriCares

This project provides a prime example of the time saving benefit of modular construction. Generally, speed and quality don't go hand-in-hand. You usually sacrifice one for the other. However, with modular construction, you can have both. #ModularConstruction #Wyoming
