“The recognition obtained by 48 Calabrian locations in the guide The most beautiful sea of Legambiente and Touring Club, which reviews over 300 Italian coastal municipalities, represents a concrete signal of the work that the Calabria Region, in synergy with the municipalities and operators in the sector, is carrying out to enhance our environmental and tourist heritage.
Among the provinces Reggio Calabria has obtained 16 awards, follow Cosenza and Catanzaro with 11 each, then Vibo Valentia and Crotone with 5. Reggio is the province with the most common mentioned, Cosenza is the one with the most cities at 4 sails
No one gets the score full of five sails and this must encourage us and push us to do more. In fact, the lack of locations rewarded with the 5 sails must not be seen as a limit, but as a clear and ambitious goal of our tourist strategy. We want a Calabria that Primeggi not only for natural beauty, but also for the quality of services, sustainability and innovation “.
As Giovanni Calabresecouncilor for the environment, tourism and work of the Calabria Region.
“Furthermore, in the report, particular attention is paid to the protection of marine biodiversity; in fact, 103 municipalities of sea turtles are also reported to carry on concrete actions for monitoring and protection of nests.
And Calabria is one of the Italian regions with the highest number of Caretta Caretta nests. A path that also continues with the strengthening the monitoring and protection projects of the nesting beaches, in collaboration with environmental associations and research centers, because the presence of the marine turtle is a health indicator of coastal ecosystems and a distinctive element of our territorial identity
The goal of our regional administration is clear: to transform Calabria into a model of sustainable and competitive tourism. The path to reach the 5 sails passes from here, from the ability to build an integrated, accessible and quality tourist system, capable of attracting aware and respectful visitors of our extraordinary natural and cultural heritage, transforming environmental quality into a true engine of economic and employment development “.
