TransEurope Marinas joins the EBI A


s the tourist industry begins to restructure itself with the aim of becoming more resilient, responsible, and


accountable to future generations, nautical tourism is also starting to step up with attempts being made to reduce waste and contamination, promote the study of local biodiversity and address the demands of environmentally- conscious boaters. Few would counter that we are


now experiencing an accelerated rhythm of change as the push to ‘build back better’ potentially affects all areas of marina management. TransEurope Marinas’ members are becoming increasingly engaged with addressing sustainability challenges and working towards incorporating digital technology across their operations and services, such as the recent project with Pick a Pier to digitalise membership operations and improve customer communication. Given such a significant rate of


development, this is a time requiring strong leadership and industry focus, and it is very reassuring to see the European Boating Industry (EBI) creating stronger bonds with other established industry bodies such as ICOMIA and urging the nautical industry into the forefront, encouraging the European Commission to develop concrete initiatives for the benefit of the sector.

Based on the success of the EBI in


obtaining this level of recognition for marinas, TransEurope Marinas decided to apply to become a Sustaining Member and support the work being carried out by Secretary- General Philip Easthill and his


team, which includes a full agenda addressing a number of vital topics affecting marinas. The EBI also advocates support


for the creation of a new network of nautical tourism routes that invite boating travellers to experience a


more profound immersion in local cultural heritage and traditions, forging connections across borders and creating income for host communities, an endeavour that resonates firmly with TransEurope’s values.
