Blue Flag is a so-called "not profit" organization from Denmark that is not even authority in ambience matters and is foreign entity. The public interest in protecting beaches as natural and cultural assets outweighs any private interest. In the end, Blue Flag brings rules and prohibitions and due to the certification cost money, is pure business. The government needs to invest in better services and security and most of all , in education first 

Cultural Tradition: In Mexico, beaches have significant cultural and social importance. They are places where local communities and tourists can enjoy recreational and traditional activities such as fishing, surfing, tourism, and family gatherings. Privatizing beaches would limit access to these places and affect traditions and cultural identity in coastal communities.
