The initiative combines three key approaches: active exchange within the industry, the expansion of national and international contacts, and concrete benefits for committed members.<\/p>\n<p>A key component is a new, trilingual online platform <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ewa-member.info\/\">www.ewa-member.info<\/a>, which conveys to potential members\u2014in a concise and compelling way\u2014what EWA stands for and the added value that membership offers. You can also access the new landing page directly via the QR code:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-1024x1022.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-768x767.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1-45x45.png 45w, https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/QR-Code-Landing-Page-1.png 1047w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This online platform is complemented by the <strong>Share-Connect-Benefit<\/strong> program, which actively involves existing members in the organization\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p>Under the motto \u201cGrow\u2014and succeed\u2014together!\u201d, participating members benefit in several ways: Every new member recruited not only increases EWA\u2019s national and international reach but also brings concrete benefits to the recruiters. This creates additional contacts at international events and specifically strengthens networking within the industry.<\/p>\n<p>As a special incentive, an exclusive professional and networking weekend is raffled off annually among the EWA member companies that recruit new members. For every new full member recruited (i.e., a recreational pool or thermal spa), the recruiting member companies receive raffle tickets\u2014with double the chance of winning for new international members. Furthermore, exceptional commitment is directly rewarded: Anyone who recruits three new full members automatically wins a spot at the networking weekend at Spreewelten L\u00fcbbenau.<\/p>\n<p>The first campaign period runs from January 1 to October 6, 2026. The drawing will take place during the general meeting at INTERBAD Stuttgart. The incentive trip, featuring a professional program, will be held in the spring of the following year.<\/p>\n<p>With \u201cShare \u2013 Connect \u2013 Benefit,\u201d the EWA not only creates additional incentives for member recruitment but also specifically strengthens international exchange and the future viability of the entire industry.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to your support and your message regarding the new members you have recruited to <a href=\"mailto:info@ewa.info\">info@ewa.info<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":47785,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ewa_news\/47783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ewa_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ewa_news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ewa.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
