Italy Digital Destination

Italy Digital Destination (IDD) is an annual report and set of awards that was developed by Data Appeal in 2016. The IDD Awards recognises Italian regions and destinations that have recorded the best online performance related to reputation, food and wine, hospitality, and much more.

From the Italy Digital Destination observatory, we release an annual report which depicts a granular image of tourism across Italy in the eyes of both domestic and foreign visitors.

The Italy Digital Destination Awards – sponsored since 2023 by AlmavivA  – are the first and only national prizes dedicated to the Italian regions and destinations that have recorded the highest sentiment (visitor satisfaction scores) from a variety of categories within the past year.
