Guida Blu 2008: Elba is the queen!
Legambiente and Touring Club award them for
their high environmental standards
Legambiente and Touring Club present the 2008 “Guida Blu” that has established itself over the years as the most widely consulted guide analysing environmental quality in touristic marine areas. The company Cigno Verde alsos uses it as the basis for assigning its “sails”, which are used to indicate the level of environmental standards. This year the Guida Blu analyses, in addition to the top ten “queens” of the sea, a total of fifty different natural paradises, which Legambiente and the Italian Touring Club recommend as holiday destinations, recognized for the clean water, breathtaking landscapes, splendid beaches, as well as art, cuisine and most of all, for maintaining high environmental standards. Tuscany and Sardinia are well-represented, with 11 locations in Tuscany receiving 4 to 5 “sails”, four of which are in the Tuscan Archipelago. The island of Giglio, Capraia, Marciana and Portoferraio. For the very first time, an island of the Tuscan Archipelago – Giglio - has been ranked #1 by the Guida Blu, owing to its “optimum sustainability and protection of the terrestrial and coastal ecosystem and for the special attention given to public green spaces, recycling and sustainable mobility. The ranking also took into account the environmental preservation and sustainability on the Island of Giannutri, one of the most unique and interesting natural areas in the Tuscan Archipelago. The Guida Blu has named two “queens” – Giglio and Capraia – in the Archipelago and reconfirmed Elba’s high environmental standards.
