Safe Water Sports, a non profit organization aiming to enhance safety at sea and water-related activties partnered with TÜV AUSTRIA HELLAS, a pioneer leader in the tourism sector, to create a unique private certification protocol, “Water Sports Certified Quality” for licensed Watersports centers.
It is the first relevant initiative in Europe and a result of a long lasting effort and co-operation with water sports professionals, experienced business consultants, “Safe Water Sports” NGO, members of the Hellenic Coast Guard and the Technical Committee of Management Systems Certification department of TÜV AUSTRIA HELLAS.
During the last 3 months several famous watersports centers in Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Kea, Vouliagmeni etc. and premium hotel resorts (Costa Navarino) have been certified with the new protocol.
It is a breakthrough initiative, for the upgrade of the services quality in the tourism sector.
