The Andaman Association of Tour Operators (AATO) has congratulated the Andaman & Nicobar Administration and the Tourism Department on securing Blue Flag Certification for three additional beaches — Ramnagar Beach, Karmatang Beach and Raman Bagicha Beach. Radhanagar Beach has also successfully retained its certification.
In a statement, AATO conveyed its gratitude to the Lieutenant Governor, Prof. Dr. Dinesh Sharma, for his leadership and commitment towards strengthening sustainable tourism in the Islands. The Association also appreciated the efforts of the Administration and the Tourism Department in achieving the milestone.
With the latest certifications, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands now have four Blue Flag-certified beaches, reflecting efforts towards sustainable tourism, environmental conservation, cleanliness, safety and improved beach management.
AATO described the achievement as a significant milestone for the tourism sector, particularly in North and Middle Andaman. It stated that the certifications would help strengthen tourism promotion, create opportunities for local communities, encourage investment and attract more visitors to the Islands.
The Association also expressed its willingness to continue working with the Administration and the Tourism Department to promote the certified beaches and strengthen the Andaman & Nicobar Islands’ position as a sustainable tourism destination.
