SARDINIA is a mobile application dedicated to promoting tourism in Sardinia. The app’s guiding principle is interaction with users, to inspire their motivation to travel, provide them with information on holiday themes and places of interest and accompany them, through the use of multimedia and georeferenced content and useful services, during their travel experience. The app originates from a visual identity and an editorial study linked to specific image, branding and marketing choices. The choice of the name SARDINIA increases the diffusion of the SARDINIA brand, also addressing international markets. The app is functional and innovative with regard to diversification and completeness of content, aimed at different audiences based on their multiple interests, to facilitating the exploration of content, with simple, intuitive and immediate search and use methods and to graphic interface and navigation, which have been based on the most modern application design trends and on the guidelines of iOS operating systems.
