The iconic Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised voluntary eco-labels awarded to beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism operators. The programme uses 33 criteria across four categories to determine whether a beach meets the requirements for Blue Flag recognition.
These categories are:
- Environmental Education and Awareness,
- Water Quality,
- Environmental Management and
- Safety Services.
