The Blue Wave Flag competition acknowledges and awards the high quality of the services provided. The award ceremony took place in Balatongyörök. The president of the committee assigning the awards emphasised that
there is no doubt the Hungarian beaches have gone through a vast improvement.
During the competition, the jury evaluated each beach from the following aspects:
- parking opportunities
- the condition and cleanliness of the toilets
- the level of accessibility of each beach
- the state of the environment
- the quality and shading of the playgrounds
- the sporting opportunities
- the child-friendly facilities (changing tables, family changing rooms)
- the restaurants, pubs and other services (such as Wifi or lockers, etc.)
This year, a 34th beach applied to take part in the competition as opposed to last year’s 33. All of them succeeded in attaining the Blue Wave Flag.
The flag itself is an indication as to the quality of the beach, but the stars provide additional information.
