The number of sails is decided based on more than 100 parameters, measured by different bodies (Statistical Institute, Association of Municipalities, Chamber of Commerce, etc.). In addition to the fundamental assessment of the state of water, seabed and beaches, various other indicators of environmental quality and tourist accommodation contribute to the judgment: from land use, to the state of coastal areas, from accessibility and local mobility, to the consumption of power. Among the aspects considered are the waste system and wastewater treatment, sustainability, food safety, vacation opportunities.
5 sails are awarded to those who offer the “best administrative practices” and demonstrate “that a new way of doing tourism is possible, focusing on the environment and inclusiveness”, explains Stefano Ciafani, national president of Legambiente, presenting the ‘initiative.
