SPORT AND TOURISM |
|
The combination of sport and tourism flourishes on the Emerald Coast where a great many sports events are held. The Emerald Coast International Rally, now a classic event aiming at moving up to world class, usually held in the first week of April, sets the tourist season rolling every year. At the Cervo Tennis Club, a hotel with seven tennis courts, tournaments are held in which some of the most famous names in tennis take part. The splendid golf course (18 holes, par 72), about 6500 metres long, is laid out between two stupendous bays, offering golfers a unique panorama. Sailing is practised intensely at Porto Cervo, where the most famous yachtsmen meet every year to complete in national and international regattas, one of which usually closes the summer season.
However, the vastness of the territory offers many other possibilities for tourism, aimed at different holiday-makers from those who frequent Porto Cervo, people who can satisfy their needs for a clean sea, unspoilt nature and excellent services just as well in the neighbouring resorts.
