Tourism between Tradition, Sustainability, and Innovation in North-Western Sardinia

Tourism and geography seem to move along same lines as a result of the fact that tourism and the transport, industrial, and craft activities that are associated to it are closely related to geographic space. Furthermore, their development has an impact on construction for holiday purposes by following a far-sighted perspective that is able to provide a well-developed offer in line with an improvement of the quality of life that is obtained by means of promoting areas traditionally centred on specific holiday assets, mostly based on seaside resorts and activities. Technological and digital innovations have profoundly influenced tourism by rendering destinations more competitive, smart and so functional to tourist and citizen. The work aims to investigate and illustrate the milestones in the development of tourism in the north-west of Sardinia by considering how the interaction between tradition and innovation has impacted this area of the world, through a survey that, starting from the birth and evolution of the tourism phenomenon in the North West of Sardinia, defines the value of tourism dynamics and the territorial impacts of their seasonality, trying to detect the role and importance that technological and digital innovation it could perform to make the local offer more competitive in order to fill the gaps related to tourist seasonality
