Partner with Blue Flag News
Formats, audience and rates for organisations that want to support independent Blue Flag coverage — and fund environmental education in the South Atlantic in the process.
Who we are
Blue Flag News is the global news hub for the Blue Flag programme — the world's most recognised eco-label for beaches, marinas and sustainable boating tourism, present in more than 50 countries. We monitor official FEE sources, national operators and specialised press in several languages, and publish verified, source-cited coverage of every award season, in both hemispheres.
The site is developed by Blue Flag Argentina and Blue Flag Uruguay. It is an independent editorial project: news coverage is never for sale, and every sponsored format is clearly labelled.
Who you reach
- National operators of the Blue Flag programme in 50+ countries — the decision-makers who run certification, education and communication at national level.
- Coastal municipalities and tourism boards worldwide — the site owners behind more than 5,000 awarded beaches, marinas and boats.
- Journalists and specialised press covering tourism, environment and coastal management, who use our press room as a verified reference.
- Service providers working on Blue Flag criteria: water quality, safety, accessibility, signage, waste management and environmental consultancy.
Why partner with us
Every partnership funds something real: 50% of proceeds finance environmental education activities in the South Atlantic, delivered through the Blue Flag programmes of Argentina and Uruguay. Partnering with Blue Flag News is not just visibility before a global, highly targeted audience — it is a documented contribution to coastal environmental education, reported publicly in our annual impact report.

What sponsorship does not include
Sponsorship never buys news coverage, rankings, or editorial opinion. Sponsored formats are always labelled. A listing or sponsorship does not imply certification, endorsement or approval by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) or the Blue Flag programme.
