The European Association for
Waterparks, Spas and Leisure Pools

Established in Luxembourg since 2014, Aquasud relies on the Vert Marine Group's DNA and on recognised French expertise. Becoming part of the EWA in 2018 was a logical step, enabling us to get to know our counterparts in Luxembourg better and to become part of an European network. We firmly believe that sharing experiences and ideas is a key driver of growth and innovation, enabling us to move forward collectively towards ever more effective and inspiring models.

Since becoming a manager in the waterpark industry, I have been a member of the European Waterpark Association. Why? Because there is strength in numbers, centred around three core values: Together: in times of crisis, a united voice is essential to safeguard and develop our sector. From one another: a culture of open exchange enables continuous learning. For one another: presence and solidarity remain of fundamental importance. That is what my 'EWA' is all about.

For over 30 years, EWA has been our window to European innovation. Study visits, supplier connections, and knowledge exchange have directly shaped Paradiset's development – from introducing Aufguss to architectural enhancements. The inclusive, service-minded approach makes it invaluable for international members like us in northern Sweden.

EWA is the perfect platform to exchange ideas with like-minded industry professionals from different countries. These exchanges are always very collegial, open, honest, and extremely valuable and inspiring. Being a 'boutique mineral spa' in Switzerland, this enables us to continually develop and offer our guests a modern and contemporary wellness experience with a personal touch.

I have been a member of the EWA since 1999 as the association represents for me a forum for exchange, inspiration and continuous professional development within our industry. In a constantly changing world, it is valuable to be part of a community where knowledge can be shared. And last but not least, it is simply a pleasure to get together with clients and partners – not just to exchange ideas on a professional level, as well as to meet each other on a personal level.

Eurothermen Resorts is a committed member of the European Waterpark Association. We value access to this leading international network and the ongoing exchange of best practices as a key added value. The EWA provides us with a powerful platform to drive forward innovative ideas and to network closely with the industry's leading players. My conclusion: outstanding events and professional organisation combine here with a remarkably friendly atmosphere – anyone who isn't there is definitely missing out.
