This international and highly prestigious recognition is awarded by Fee&Fee Environments to those complexes that can guarantee a high quality system.

Historical background:

In June 1984, construction work began on the Pescara marina. The work took place as the Pescara Chamber of Commerce obtained the allocation of the area and realized a first operational slice of the tourist accommodation facility. In May 1988, the same Chamber of Commerce realized a true internal management body: the Azienda Speciale Porto Turistico di Pescara (Pescara Special Tourist Port Company) to which it gives the task of completing and managing the Marina. Finally, on January 4, 2003, the Pescara Chamber of Commerce conferred the Azienda Speciale Porto Turistico to the Unipersonal Company MARINA di PESCARA A.R.L. with its headquarters in Via Papa Giovanni XXIII in Pescara.
