Well, well, well… looks like Ras Al Khaimah just climbed a whole new level—literally and professionally. 🧗♂️ Say hello to RAK Leisure Activities (aka RAKLA), now proudly swinging into the global spotlight as the first-ever ERCA-accredited training body outside Europe. Yup, you read that right. Europe, meet your desert-dwelling adventure cousin!
In case you’re wondering, ERCA isn’t just another fancy acronym. It stands for European Ropes Course Association—basically the gold standard in the ropes course world. Think of it as the Ivy League of adventure training, except with harnesses, helmets, and a lot more adrenaline. And now, RAKLA is part of that elite club. No big deal. (Okay, it’s a huge deal!)
From In-House Know-How to Regional Powerhouse
At first, this certified training magic is happening behind the scenes, empowering RAKLA’s internal team to level up. But oh, the long game? It’s looking mighty ambitious. This move puts Ras Al Khaimah on the map as the Middle East’s go-to adventure training hub—no more flying in European trainers, thank you very much.
We’re talking new revenue streams, top-tier safety standards, and serious bragging rights. Imagine future adventurers saying, “Oh, you trained in RAK? NICE.” Because nothing says globally certified thrill-seeker like an ERCA stamp from the desert!
So next time you’re ziplining, climbing, or tackling a ropes course in the UAE, know this: behind that rush of wind and courage, there’s a team trained to international perfection—right here in Ras Al Khaimah.
Adventure just got an upgrade. And it starts with RAKLA.
