The "Blue Flag" is an exclusive quality approval that attests to particularly high environmental standards and outstanding sanitary services and safety provisions at more than 3300 beaches and marinas in 36 countries.
All the marinas and beaches that have been awarded a Blue Flag must fulfil an extensive list of criteria and demonstrate exemplary environmental work on a yearly basis. The following criteria apply: good water quality, clean beaches, sufficient sanitary services and safety provisions, water rescue / first aid on-site, environmental education etc. For locations which boast a Blue Flag, maintaining and looking after the beach or marina is of the top priority. Quality must be upheld at all times and is subject to random checks by Blue Flag inspectors.
The Blue Flag award greatly helps municipalities when dealing with the issue of beach cleaning. Indeed, for the local authorities, being the recipient of a Blue Flag signifies a huge lead over neighbouring localities. Well-maintained beaches are a critical competitive factor for hotels, beach operators and municipalities. The Blue Flag is also playing a decisive role for more and more tourists in terms of holiday decision-making. The condition of a beach makes a lasting impression. BeachTech ensures professional beach cleaning. After all, only satisfied tourists return.
