AQUA ACTION was created in 2005 by people that through knowledge came to love the Messolonghi-Etoliko lagoon and for many years worked alongside the fishermen for the protection and promotion of the region. The creation of this company relied on the knowledge that alternative tourism can support the income of the local community and also to state the importance and value of environmental protection.
The company came to fill a gap in the region that didn’t offer specialized services in the field of alternative tourism and it created the opportunity for important but unknown tourist products to be promoted.
