HOW ARE BEACHES IN ITALY RATED

In Italy, you will see signs on certain beaches that say Bandiera Blu or in English Blue Flag.

The Blue Flag is an international recognition, established in 1987 European Year of the Environment, which is awarded every year in 49 countries, initially only in Europe, more recently also outside Europe, with the support and participation of the two UN agencies: UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) and UNWTO (World Tourism Organization) with which the FEE has signed a global partnership protocol and recognized by UNESCO as a world leader in the field of environmental education and development education sustainable.

Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label assigned to seaside tourist resorts that comply with criteria relating to sustainable land management.

The main objective of this program is to direct the local management policy of numerous coastal towns towards a process of environmental sustainability.

Here is the list of the latest year available of beaches in Italy that have obtained this classification.
