The companies that make up the Association of Active Tourism, Adventure and Nature Companies, AGETAN, have renewed their Board of Directors at a meeting in which a new president, Pablo López, was also elected, taking over from Agustín Rico.

The general assembly, held at the Hotel Oca Porta do Camiño in Santiago de Compostela, had as its main point on the agenda the renewal of its Board of Directors, following the provisions of the statutes of the association, which is now chaired by Pablo López Franco, of the active tourism company based in Paderne, Marmar Outdoor SL.

Together with him, Amelia García, from the company Atlantis Adventure, was appointed as secretary and Felipe Martinez, from the company viveiresa Roq Sport, as treasurer. They thus give the baton to the previous Board of Directors, presided over by Agustín Rico, of the company Galaica Aventura, and in which Pablo Maciñeira, of Ortegal Surf Escuela, held the position of secretary and Esteban Troitiño, of Desafío Ocio, that of treasurer, and who leave as a legacy years of exponential growth of the Association, successful projects such as Galicia Destino Activo, o the signing of the collaboration agreement between the Galician Tourism Agency and AGETAN as the only entity in the Autonomous Community that brings together active tourism companies in Galicia, for the implementation of measure 24 of the Reactivation Plan for the cultural and tourism sectors in the face of the effects of COVID -19.
The meeting also dealt with other issues of interest, such as aspects related precisely to the implementation of this Agreement, some of the association’s internal management, such as the agreement to modify the Statutes to incorporate the figures of the Members, and others related to the current situation of the active tourism sector in Galicia and its regulations and planning, aspects to which AGETAN dedicates great efforts.

The new board is now facing a new stage with enthusiasm and dedication, in which they will seek to consolidate the achievements made, with the firm intention of positioning the active tourism sector in Galicia as a reference in its field. To this end, the association invites all those active tourism companies located in Galicia to contact (infoagetan@gmail.com) and join forces to achieve this goal, participating in all those initiatives that will be carried out this year and next.
