Cape Verde Tourism continues to grow…

Cape Verde tourism is on the rise again, as it becomes a must-visit destination in 2016

•60,000 Visitors in 2000 •569,000 Visitors in 2015• 5.5% rise on 2014• 3.7 million overnight stays• 8.9 nights stay average

What about over-development, some destinations seem to have too many properties and not enough tourists!

•This is true for some destinations–Caused mainly by a lack of government control

•Cape Verde law prohibits high rise and high density resorts•Legislation exists to protect land •The size of the Islands further restricts level of development•Property owners will be an exclusive group of investors

Cape Verde can not become saturated = property values will grow

Market Saturation

How stable is the country, what about security issues or terrorism?

• Cape Verde is a democratic independent country• Low risk profile for internal unrest • Low risk profile for terrorist incident• Minimal crime levels• Excellent overall safety record for tourism

Local Stability

Can I expect a good return now and in the future?

• Billions of private investment into the country• Tourism is the key driver of the local economy• Large scale infrastructure improvements being made• Continuous improvement as a holiday destination

– New Blue Lagoon development for example– Improves swimming conditions– Adds exciting Beach club concept

Billions being invested in continuous improvement = sustainable returns

Investment Longevity
