Sustainable Tourism
Costa Nostrum
Costa Nostrum – Sustainable Beaches is an innovative standard for certifying the degree of sustainability of each beach, based on specific indicators and criteria that allow the sustainability classification and evaluation of each beach through an objective scaling. Through the implementation of the specific protocol, the sustainable management and development of each beach (public or “privately” exploited) may be achieved in an objective manner. At the same time, it is also a mean of global recognition and promotion of the certified sustainable beaches and of the local companies producing local traditional products, around every certified sustainable beach. The protocol can be applied to all Mediterranean beaches, with a view to their sustainable development, aiming at environmental protection of the beach, the sustainable economic development of the coastal area and the overall prosperity and cohesion of the community. We make beaches sustainable… You enjoy sustainable beaches!
