However, we know very well that with this award our responsibility to our customers has become substantially greater. We will do our utmost best to serve this honor and customer trust with ever greater effort, higher quality products and supportfor our industry and sport. Some kite rod manufacturers seem to believe that spon­ soring Master Class Flyers- individuals or teams­ equals quality or performance. AVIA Sport also loves to sponsor. Usually, however, we prefer to help Novice or Intermediate flyers. Unfortunately, this usually does not receive glory or even notice. But ourjoy over enthusiastic letters and pretty pictures are the greatest payment we receive. And perhaps one or another beginner will rise into the lofty realms where only Masters dwell. Ofcourse, the many victories at all levels-some evenfive positions deep as won at the AKA nationals in October-does not make us unhappy at all. To all the winners our best compliments and thanks. Recognized consistency in quality, real honest increases in kite performance, and prompt and responsible service are the ingredients that bring us dramatic growth in customers worldwide. Indeed, it really seems as ifthe best kites throughout the world are 'Using AVIA Sport spars these days. In our opinion, satisfied kite manufac­ turers are still the best witnessesfor our quality and performance. • Hg1 Performcr.ce AVIA Sport Composites, Inc. P.O.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by RERO DOC Digital Library Machbarkeitsstudie Autor Robert Aeschbacher Juravorstadt 35 CH-2502 Biel/Bienne [email protected] Tel: +4176 339 78 02 Referent : Jaco Zuiderent Experte: Pascal Nessier Schriftliche Arbeit zur Erlangung des Diploms der Schweizerischen Tourismusfachschule Machbarkeitsstudie Cuba Kitesurfing Center Zusammenfassung Kite Surfen ist eine neue Trendsportart, die weltweit immer mehr an Bekanntheit und Popularität gewinnt. Dies lässt sich schon nur an der Anzahl Kite Schulen aufzeigen, die jährlich wie Pilze aus dem Boden schiessen. Die klimatischen Bedingungen auf Kuba sind prädestiniert zum Kite Surfen und das Nachfragepotenzial, insbesondere in Varadero ist viel versprechend. Ursprünglich sollte diese Diplomarbeit der Frage nachgehen, wie man eine Kite Surf Schule auf Kuba eröffnet und erfolgreich betreibt. Aber durch die standortbedingten Schwierigkeiten auf Kuba wurde aus dem ursprünglich geplanten Businessplan ein gewagter Spagat zwischen einem Businessplan und einer Machbarkeitsstudie. Der Businessplan wurde absichtlich möglichst allgemein gehalten, damit das Konzept der Kite Schule bei Bedarf auch auf eine andere Destination angepasst werden kann. Résumé Le kite surf est un nouveau sport de mode qui attire de plus en plus de gents dans le monde entier. Ca on remarque déjà dans le nombre de nouvelles écoles de Kite qui ouvrent leurs portes chaque année. Les conditions climatiques à Cuba sont prédestinées pour pratiquer le kite surf. Le potentiel de la demande, surtout à Varadero est immense. A l’origine ce travail de diplôme aurait dû s’occuper de la question, comment ouvrir et gérer avec succès une école de kite surf à Cuba.

The dreams of those kite pioneers will be NATIONAL CONVENTION flying high this October 9-14. As a flying location, the Ocean City beach has been declared by some to be th 40 ANNUAL “The Kiteflying Capital of the World” due to its wide beach, regular winds, and the community’s support of kiteflying. Attendees can fly into the local COMPETITION AND Salisbury/Ocean City airport or drive down from Washington or Baltimore. The kiteflying will be held on the beach between the Kite Loft and our host FESTIVAL hotel, The Park Place. There is a wide range of other accommodations within an easy walk. OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND Ocean City has a modern convention center just a few miles from the flying fields. Convention registrants will be able to take a free shuttle to and from the OCTOBER 9-14, 2017 convention center simply by showing their registration badges. At the center, we will hold our auction, banquets, and meetings. There is a great indoor flying facility for Wednesday night which is something you won’t want to miss. Ocean City Photography by On Thursday night, the Fly Market will open with new fanfare as many kite Jo-Ann Rasmussen manufacturers have agreed to set up their booths to display what’s new for 2018.
