The ILAM White Flag Excellence Programme is the 'quality standard for Spa and Leisure' that all leisure facilities must strive to achieve.

White Flag Excellence highlights to your customers, staff and the general public that your organisation is committed to achieving the highest standards of quality in the Leisure Industry.

Launched in 2001, the White Flag is an independently audited award, recognised throughout the Leisure Industry, endorsed by Fáilte Ireland and the Irish Hotels Federation.

In addition to White Flag Excellence, two specialist category awards are presented annually - The Disability Provision and Training Ethos Awards. These specialist awards have been very successful and allow leisure facilities to develop and specialise in specific areas of their business, further developing the quality of the facilities.
