The Engelsiz Halk Plajı has been awarded the Blue Flag.

Alanya Municipality's Accessible Public Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag by TÜRÇEV, making it Turkey's first Blue Flag-certified accessible public beach.

The Alanya Municipal Accessible Public Beach, operated by the Alanya Municipality Department of Social Affairs at Damlataş Beach, has become the first accessible public beach in Turkey to earn the Blue Flag certification. This achievement was made in coordination with the Alanya Municipality Department of Environmental Protection and Control, and the Turkish Environmental Education Foundation (TÜRÇEV), as part of the Blue Flag Project.

The Engelsiz Halk Plajı received the Blue Flag award in a ceremony attended by Alanya Mayor Adem Murat Yücel, Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD) Chairman Burhan Sili, TÜRÇEV Antalya Coordinator Mustafa Ergiydiren, Social Affairs Director Hüseyin Doğan, and Environmental Protection and Control Director Sevda Çapa.

Alanya has been awarded a total of 78 Blue Flag certifications for its 70 private beach facilities, 6 public beaches, 1 accessible beach, and 1 marina.

President Yücel stated, "The Blue Flag is a guarantee that importance is given to environmental management, that activities are carried out to raise environmental awareness, that the cleanliness of the sea water is maintained, and that the facilities and safety measures are in place to meet the needs of those using the beach or marina. It is an important source of prestige for holiday resorts and a significant factor in consumer preferences."

ALTİD Chairman Burhan Sili emphasized that sustainable tourism is based on environmental awareness, and stated that Blue Flag beaches also strengthen the tourism industry's position in the global competition for marketing tourism facilities.
