The "Sardinia" app is already available - free of charge - for Android and iOS devices, created by the Tourism Department in collaboration with Crs4 and Sardegna Ricerche. The goal is to ensure that it becomes an indispensable guide for every tourist who arrives on the island, supporting their travel experience and integrating with other apps to provide as much information as possible.
«It is a point of reference for all those who come to Sardinia, but also for us Sardinians: it must make known whatever happens here», points out Gianni Chessa, regional councilor for Tourism, in the presentation which took place today at Cagliari airport. «Apparently it seems like a common app, but it isn't: you will see that it will be one of the best in Italy, even if we arrived last. It will tell you all the events in Sardinia in real time, it is designed to provide information and accompany the tourist during the travel experience. This is the idea, in a modern and current way, geolocalised and with the QR Code. We will use all the agreements already in place, from the airport to Dinamo and Cagliari Calcio, to promote it and it will be possible to make suggestions".
The details
The app has a structure in sections and includes texts, in Italian and English but with the intention of soon adding other languages, multimedia content (video, images, audio) and interactive content (3D, virtual tour, virtual reality). It has been tested by one hundred students and from now on one of the main objectives will be to make it grow and evolve. «Sardinia will have to give everything, as much as possible», adds Chessa. «We will try to have it unloaded as soon as one arrives at the airport or ports, as a business card to welcome you to the island. And on the colors I took those of the Sardinia brand".
