#4 Vincent Van Laethem - CEO of Alaia Bay Wave Pool

Located in a valley, next to the town of Sion and surrounded by many famous ski resorts, Alaia Bay is Europe's #1 Wave Pool

In this episode, we speak with Vincent Van Laethem, CEO of Alaia Bay and the Alaia Businesses that the group operate. 

In case you didn't know, they have a skateboard park, indoor & outdoor, snow park, hotel and many other adventure sports assets in the area.

Vincent has extensive experience with many other Adventure Sports and has an amazing attitude to running the business, and that is, to always focus on the customer experience and ensure that Alaia provide the most enjoyable experience.

In this episode we hear Vincent talk about the timeline for creating a wave pool, what kind of people are visiting Alaia Bay, their views about facilities and experiences and what they are trying to achieve.

We apologise for some of the background noise caused by the waves being pumped out at the wave pool, demo helicopters and busy management talking as when we sat down with Vincent, the Alaia Bay Winter Cup 2021 was is full swing and it was hard to find a quiet spot to speak.

One of the most interesting people in the industry to chat to, we hope you enjoy the listen too.
