Blue Flag Beaches
|
Blue Flag is a prestigious, international award scheme which acts as a guarantee to tourists that a beach or marina they are visiting is one of the best in the world.
The award of a Blue Flag beach is based on compliance with 29 criteria covering the aspects of:
- Environmental Education and Information
- Water Quality
- Environmental Management
- Safety and Services
Some criteria are imperative (I), some are guideline (G) and some are non-applicable (NA) for certain regions.
All imperative requirements have to be fulfilled, and in addition there is a maximum number of guideline criteria. Blue Flags are only awarded for one season at a time. If some of the imperative criteria are not fulfilled during the season or the conditions change, the Blue Flag will be withdrawn.
