The 1st Asian Beach Games will take place in Bali, Indonesia, in October 2008. Forty-five nations will participate in seventeen different sports, ranging from beach handball, sailing and surfing to triathlon.
This event represents a first contract for IGBS, the 50/50 joint-venture in which resources of the parent-companies, HBS and IMG Media, are to be pooled again.
“We at IGBS are very proud to be involved in the first edition of the Asian Beach Games Bali 2008,” says Francis Tellier, CEO of IGBS. “It represents an opportunity to utilise the extremely positive experience gained at the 15th Asian Games in another dynamic, challenging and interesting multi-sport environment.”
Bali 2008 will be followed by Oman 2010, Haiyang 2012 and Baraclay 2014.
