Collaborator’s Introduction:
The Centre has started to provide water sports experience to the public since the 1970s and trained a number of Hong Kong and youth kayaking representatives. The Centre’s vision is to provide “professional training, active experience and safe participation” for participants and to promote water sports. In addition, the Centre also provides kayaking guided tours on ecology. These special kayaking tours are led by the professional coaches and tour guides, which not only provide fun experience to the participants, but also aim to promote ecological conservation and water safety.
