The criteria cover various areas including environmental practices, social responsibility, sustainability education and operational management. The assessment process includes a review of documented evidence and an on-site audit based on a representative sample of evidence to determine whether the establishment meets the applicable criteria at the time of assessment. Regular assessments and periodic renewal requirements encourage continuous improvement in the areas covered by the programme.
Green Key is available to hotels, hostels, small accommodations, campsites, holiday parks, conference centres, restaurants, and attractions.
ABOUT BLUE FLAG
The iconic Blue Flag is an internationally recognised voluntary sustainability programme for beaches, marinas, and tourism boats.
In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a comprehensive set of environmental, educational, safety and accessibility criteria must be met. Sites and operators must demonstrate compliance with applicable criteria and maintain compliance during the award period.
Central to the ideals of the Blue Flag programme is the aim of connecting the public with their surroundings and encouraging them to learn more about their environment. As such, environmental education activities must be offered and promoted in addition to a display of information relevant to the site in terms of biodiversity, ecosystems and environmental phenomena.
