Abstract

For some years we have been witnessing the rediscovery of cultural and religious itineraries, considered tools capable of promoting sustainable local development. Their value is mainly touristic and there are numerous initiatives in Italy aimed at the religious and slow tourism market. Starting from the analysis of scientific literature, the contribution highlights the tourist potential of religious routes with a focus on the Santu Jacu Way, which crosses the entire island. The method and tools are those of economic geography, which contemplate the use of statistical indicators and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through the elaborations carried out, the paper highlights how religious paths can contribute to increasing regional competitiveness if supported and promoted within specific local development actions and policies.
