Customs and artifacts play a pivotal role in shaping the tourism development of a destination. They offer unique insights into the cultural heritage and traditions of a place, attracting tourists seeking authentic and immersive experiences. When preserved and showcased thoughtfully, these elements become a compelling draw for visitors, contributing significantly to the growth of the local tourism industry. The research strategy for this study was descriptive. 20 tourists' destination managers in South Italy were the intended audience. From a potential sample of 20 tourists' destination managers in South Italy, 15 were interviewed for the research. The data was gathered with the use of questionnaires. In the South of Italy, the rich tapestry of customs and artifacts plays an integral role in the region's tourism development. These treasures, steeped in history and tradition, not only provide a unique window into the area's cultural heritage but also serve as a magnetic force for travelers seeking genuine and immersive encounters. By preserving and promoting these customs and artifacts, Southern Italy can continue to thrive as a top tourist destination, where visitors can savor the authenticity and beauty of the region's unique cultural identity. The study recommended that South of Italy should allocate resources to safeguard and showcase its customs and artifacts, creating museums, cultural centers, and interactive exhibits to educate and engage tourists about the rich heritage of the region. Collaborative efforts involving local communities and artisans can be encouraged to ensure that customs and artifacts are not only preserved but also revitalized, thereby creating sustainable economic opportunities and fostering a sense of pride and ownership. Develop marketing strategies that emphasize the cultural richness of the South of Italy, highlighting the customs and artifacts as key attractions, and utilize digital and social media platforms to reach a wider audience, attracting travelers who seek authentic and immersive experiences.
