Abstract

Among the sectors covered by Blue Growth, the Europe 2020 strategy to foster sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors, coastal tourism represents an important sector of the tourism industry. The Region of Sardinia recently launched the Regional Plan for the Tourist Port Network as a fundamental tool for strategic planning of the sector, in order to better exploit the islands strategic position in the Mediterranean. However, the potential of ports is not always expressed by the territories in which they are located for various reasons, economic, political, administrative, etc. Competition will therefore take place if all the potential is balanced according to the peculiarities of the territories and the dictates of the most advanced multi-sectoral policies. In this context, the focus will be on the strategy that conceives the future of ports, in particular of the Sardinian Region, considering a smart, green and integrated approach for a better management, accessibility and safety of marinas and surrounding areas.

This study is developed in the Research Project “Tourism, accessibility, and digitalization for sustainable transformation of internal areas”, Department of Economics and Business – University of Sassari. This paper is the result of the joint work of the authors. In particular: paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 have been written by Silvia Battino, paragraphs 4 and 6 by Brunella Brundu and paragraph 5 by Stefano Carboni.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Figure 1 identifies the island’s major tourist ports and the multifunctional ports located in the most economically dynamic municipalities and benefiting from the projects financed by the PNRR (only the port of Oristano is absent from such funding). The Regional Plan for the Tourist Port Network, however, identifies a further 79 port facilities for nautical pleasure boating under public or mixed management to be developed to complete the Network, some of which already meet the Plan’s requirements, while others need upgrading and restructuring. Finally, it recognizes 7 New Port Facilities (NPS) located in territorial areas that, despite offering a qualified tourist offer (landscape, environmental and historical-cultural emergencies), do not enjoy adequate use.
