Sardinia is addressing the balance between preserving cultural identity and managing modern economic development. The region is focused on improving public services, such as healthcare facilities in peripheral zones like Samugheo, to prevent isolation in marginal areas.

In the tourism sector, the island is pursuing growth through maritime resources, with Alghero projecting a significant increase in cruise passengers by 2027. Simultaneously, there is a strategic shift toward promoting inland tourism through cultural, gastronomic, and musical events. Initiatives such as the ‘Autunno in Barbagia’ circuit aim to encourage seasonal de-seasonalization by highlighting the interior regions. These efforts are supported by regional government financing and cultural productions, including musical performances in Cagliari.
