With 1,200 members HISWA Association unites the best companies of the watersport industry in the Netherlands. For consumers the HISWA logo is a sign of quality and guarantee. For the government, media and other organisations HISWA is the spokesman representing the industry.
Companies in the whole business chain of the Dutch watersport industry are members of HISWA; from yacht builders, brokers, marinas and charter companies to retailers and export. In all HISWA represents seventeen business trade sectors, taking care of 65 % of the turnover in the industry.
HISWA is the only marine association in the Netherlands. Collective interests in the industry are strengthened by HISWA. HISWA participates in many committees and supports the promotion of the watersport industry towards consumers. The association also offers many products and practical support to its members. By doing this HISWA ensures that these members are recognizable as especially safe, environmental friendly and presenting the highest quality.
HISWA was established in 1932 as a boat show organiser. Nowadays the association gives its name to two well respected boat shows (HISWA RAI Amsterdam and HISWA Seaport in water boat show) which are organised by HISWA RAI multimedia by a joint venture of the two partners working together from 1932.
