Our mission
Our mission is to provide the highest level of information and professional services for our members and their clients through:
- Advocacy
To communicate with relevant authorities and others for the advocacy and development of the yacht chartering, locally, regionally and internationally. The political and legal environment at the European level and especially in Greece is complex and multi-faceted.
GYA provides a single platform for the development of joint positions for the companies that it represents. This is where GYA examines specific pieces of legislation and issues , raises industry awareness, and responds to requests for industry input on specific issues the industry may have.
The Association serves as liaison between the industry, government and the public. By coordinating common positions from its members input, the Association acts as a single voice to the EU, national government agencies and regulatory bodies whose regulations and standards impact the yacht charter industry. As the voice of the industry, GYA communicates with all key decision makers . Our voice can only be heard and influential if it represents as many member companies as possible. When any trade association speaks for the majority of the companies in an industry it can truly claim to speak with authority.
