services, and environmental awareness.

The Blue Flag program is one of the world’s leading environmental

preserve natural resources and biodiversity.

The ASEZA stated that the achievement highlights Blue Beach as a
leading national model and strengthens Aqaba’s position as a regional
and international destination for marine and eco-tourism.
