Sardinia’s only new Blue Flag recognition goes to Budoni. Awarded by the Danish Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) the accolade makes for environmentally friendly holidays, and this summer Budoni has launched a large fleet of electric scooters.
The aim being to allow guests and residents to move around in a speedy and economic way, and with zero impact on the environment.Buses for wheelchairs and mobility scooters
In addition public transport has been boosted, and is now reaching the most beautiful beaches along the coast. Some shuttle buses are also equipped with platforms that make them accessible for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. And to better accommodate tourists with specific needs the walkways on the beaches have been expanded, making it easier to reach the shoreline, and special armchairs with large wheels that can move effortlessly on the sand and even enter the water are also available.
Quality accommodation and services
Great attention is also paid to the quality of the accommodation on offer. During the winter workshops organized by Budoni Welcome a common hospitality strategy was worked out by local players, with the aim of guaranteeing even higher quality and quantity levels.
“Holidaymakers want authentic emotions and experiences”
“Year after year our administration has introduced projects to make guests' stays more unforgettable,” explains Giuseppe Porcheddu, the mayor of Budoni. “Trends show that holidaymakers are looking for authentic emotions and experiences and ways to connect with the authenticity of a location. By enhancing our typical products we are moving in this direction with attention to mobility, accessibility, and sustainability. The recent Blue Flag confirms that we have done well, and is a stimulus for future initiatives.”
