<\/div>\n\n\n\n

El Ejido Town Council has implemented a quality management system on the Levante, Poniente y San Miguel beaches in accordance with the \u00abUNE-ISO 13009. Tourism and related services\u00bb in order to achieve the satisfaction of all those who visit these beaches, providing them with all kinds of services and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Ejido Town Council undertakes, within its possibilities, to establish the technical and economic means necessary to curb pollution and prevent it at source, as well as to prevent and eliminate as far as possible any impact that may be caused on the environment as a result of its activities. It also guarantees the monitoring of all activities carried out on the coast, establishing mechanisms for continuous improvement, in collaboration with all sectors of the municipality, ensuring the evolution of both the environmental quality of the environment and the services provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the development of all activities carried out on the aforementioned beaches, the Town Council undertakes to establish initiatives to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations, as well as the demands of users and other requirements applicable to the activities carried out on the beaches, and to promote the participation of all staff and users in the protection and improvement of the coastline, through training and awareness programmes, with an emphasis on communication at all levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Town Council periodically defines and evaluates quality objectives in order to promote continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beaches are a common good, therefore, from the Town Council we want to involve all users in this project, promoting their collaboration, and seeking the satisfaction of all those who in one way or another enjoy the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality certificates in El Ejido beaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The beach quality labels are nationally and internationally recognised systems whose purpose is to check and manage the quality and good condition of the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By means of standardised parameters and the flags and badges awarded, users can check which beaches comply with quality, environmental and accessibility requirements, and they are also useful tools for promoting tourism for the municipalities themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distinctive signs awarded to the beaches of El Ejido are the Blue Flag, Q for Tourist Quality, SICTED Destination and Ecoplayas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Flag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Flag is an annual award and certification system for environmental quality developed by the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) since 1987. It promotes and rewards participation in voluntary environmental initiatives by municipal authorities, local and visiting populations and tourism stakeholders. The criteria for obtaining the Blue Flag are grouped into four areas: bathing water quality, environmental information and education, environmental management and safety, services and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blue Flag is already a symbol, recognised and valued by tens of millions of beach and port users, and a world standard for tourism eco-quality, promoted by the UNWTO (World Tourism Organisation) and the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme). Its global success is due to the fact that it responds to a universal social \u00abneed\u00bb, felt and attended to by the FEE, for more than 25 years with common obligatory criteria agreed and periodically renewed.
