Regione Sardegna - Assessorato Del Turismo, Artigianato E Commercio

This regional government department oversees tourism, commerce, and handicrafts for Sardinia, implementing policies that balance economic development with environmental stewardship. Its mission is to guide sustainable growth across these vital sectors – a commitment that earned the island a national record in 2022 for the highest number of "Five Sails" eco-certified beaches. Based in Cagliari, the department’s oversight includes strategic promotion, hotel industry management, and the development of essential infrastructure. This work extends to protecting artistic and cultural heritage, promoting local gastronomy, and supporting artisan activities through market regulation and credit incentives. Initiatives for sustainable mobility and reforestation are also central to its approach. Through its official platform, Sardegna Turismo, the department provides comprehensive resources for visitors while facilitating collaboration with industry operators. Recent efforts to enhance global connectivity have resulted in new direct air routes and the island’s selection to host the 2025 World Travel Awards European Gala Ceremony, reflecting a strategy centered on a conscious appreciation of Sardinia’s natural and cultural assets.
