The second seminar, scheduled on Friday, 24 March, will endeavor to provide an answer to the question: Is it possible to predict the changes in the Active Tourism market and adapt its offerings accordingly?

Seminar 3:
Trails and routes of Sardinia;
White sandy beaches, breath-taking views and undiscovered landscapes. More and more tourists are choosing to discover the wonders of the coastline and inland areas through the routes the island has to offer. Ample space will be devoted to hiking trails and routes in Sardinia during the second day of BITAS 2023.

Educational Tour by bike;
The first offer is a cycling tour, albeit a short one, divided into two stages: From Alghero to Sinis via Bosa, and the areas of Planargia and Montiferru. This fascinating and varied route combines experiences with a variety of landscapes. Guests can choose between a regular or pedal-assisted bike and will be accompanied by experienced guides, with a minivan backup providing logistical support and assistance

Educational Tour on foot;
The second offer is a walking itinerary where the sea and mountains meet in spectacular landscapes and experiences. Here we will experience the dazzling white cliffs of Capo Caccia, the dark basalt rock faces of Monte Minerva, the marvelous flight of griffon vultures, and the mysterious megaliths of the Marghine area.

Educational Tour by boat;
Alghero and its bays are the ideal location for sailing. The third offer is an exploration of the sea and a fascinating sport that has stood the test of time, sailing in traditional wooden boats with a lateen sail, often seen in ports throughout Sardinia, as well as modern motorboats, dinghies and ‘Marconi’ rig sailboats.
