The Silver Quality Coast Award is an award developed by the Coastal and Marine Union (EUCC). This is a part of the so-called Green Deal for sustainable tourism that is executed from November 2014 till December 2016. The aim of this initiative is to promote the sustainability of destinations. This must be achieved by developing a joint vision on the way in which the sustainability of destinations and developing processes and resources are considered. The development of processes and funds is also taken into consideration, in order to measure the sustainability of the destinations and to make it visible.
