Welcome to
Monitour.org website
This space is one of the results of the research activities of the project "Destinations’ Performance Measurement and the Role of Public Policies" financed by “Fondazione di Sardegna”. The project, whose main aim is sharing information to strengthen collaboration between public and private stakeholders of destinations, is linked to the objectives of data gathering and analysis through the European Tourism Indicator System (ETIS) tool of the European Commission. The website contains further results deriving from the other objectives of the project.
The research focuses on the territory of the 5 municipalities of the Destination Management Organization (DMO) Visit South Sardinia (VSS), namely Domus de Maria, Cagliari, Muravera, Pula e Villasimius. Along with other 13 destinations in the world, VSS became in 2013 an Early Adopter based on the criteria and indicators of sustainable tourism of the international program of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). In addition, in 2016, Visit South Sardinia received the top prize for sustainability at the first joint ETIS and Accessible Tourism Awards hosted by the European Commission (here press release of the awards ceremony).
