At Meroway, we believe that Good preparation is the key to a safe and successful trip. Ensuring safety has always been our top priority and comes before (!) customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is extremely important, but your safety is even more important.
Last year, as part of our development, we launched our #BezpieczniWHimalajach training courses, which have proved hugely popular and have been very well received by participants; now we’re adding even more – we’re just starting a collaboration with Dr Robert Szymczak!
Dr Robert Szymczak and MedEverest enable us to make medical care an integral part of our trips – not as an afterthought, but as a genuine asset.
