Today present in 46 countries on all continents, the Blue Flag has become a reference in the fields of tourism, the environment and sustainable development”, as we can read on its official website: pavilionbleu.org. Obtaining this label is made on the examination of several criteria which are: environmental education, the general environment, water management, as well as waste management.
