Blue Flag Good Practices
The Blue Flag Good Practice Competition was created to encourage beaches, marinas and tourism boats across the Blue Flag network to share creative and replicable practices that support environmental action, education and responsible site management.
The competition facilitates the exchange of experience and good practices across the international Blue Flag network. Each edition focuses on selected environmental or educational themes, providing participating sites and operators with an opportunity to share initiatives, approaches and practical solutions with others.
Browse the Good Practice categories below and discover examples submitted by Blue Flag sites and operators around the world.
