The VMWD sees itself as a representative of all companies operating commercially in the water sports industry. It’s a strong community that can influence policymakers and authorities. Regardless of the government, politicians rarely understand the needs of businesses.
The VMWD maintains constant contact with key committees and parliamentarians and is involved in consultation and decision-making on all important issues affecting water sports. This ensures that members are informed about political developments in a timely manner. The various professional associations develop the relevant details, which are then presented to the ministries.
