Annual Events
Annual events play a crucial role in destination marketing, offering a strategic tool to extend the tourist season beyond traditional peak periods. By capitalising on these events, destinations can attract visitors throughout the year, thereby enhancing the local economy, reducing the pressures of seasonal tourism, and promoting a more sustainable tourism model.
Beaches and Islands
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, right after Sicily. But did you know there are many islands of Sardinia that you can also visit?
Some of the smaller islands of Sardinia are inhabited – you will find charming, quaint villages: that’s the case of Sant’Antioco and San Pietro islands. Others are completely uninhabited, and natural, pristine and highly protected, and are home to some incredibly interesting sites – that’s the case of Asinara and some of the islands of La Maddalena Archipelago (both are national parks!). Some have also been the object of political disputes until very recently.
Things to do
With full freedom, open your arms and heart. You are free to scuba dive in the most crystalline waters, practice the most extreme sports, travel in time by visiting places and monuments from a mysterious past and begin a trip within the trip surrounded by inimitable meals and flavours.
