The Life Cycle (LC) approach is a useful tool for analysing the development of destinations and market segments. The Island of Sardinia (Italy) highlights the usefulness of the LC approach using tourism demand and supply. An econometric and a descriptive approach have detected heterogeneities between domestic and international tourism LC. The paper shows that the dynamics of tourism demand are strictly dependent on the local policy and socio-economic changes. The development of the accommodation sector and tourists' preferences are triggered by several factors, such as transportation, advancements in information technology and implementation of public policy.
