Description and Table of Contents
Description
The world's coastal regions are densely populated and environmentally vulnerable. They are subject to increasing pressures from a number of sources, including industrial development, urban expansion, the exploitation of marine resources and tourism. This publication describes one way in which tourism is being integrated with the coastal environment: the European Blue Flag campaign. This is an award system in which European beaches that fulfil a number of requirements such as quality of bathing water, cleanliness and safety, are given the right to fly the Blue Flag.
