New airline route boosts Cape Verde popularity

Article Date : Friday, July 27, 2007

Holidaymakers are flying to Cape Verde rather than similar locations thanks to a cut in the flight time, according to new figures.

Jet2Let statistics, Sambalad Development said, showed that the direct flight from London Gatwick to Cape Verde, which took 5.5 hours, was more preferable to tourists than the 13.5 hour trip to the Maldives.

There was a 26.6 per cent increase in tourism in Cape Verde last year, according to the National Statistics Institute.

Jenny Adams from tour operator The Cape Verde Experience said that direct flights had fuelled more interest from the UK.

"The UK population is now discovering the appeal of this unique archipelago, and there has been a buzz about the islands for the last year, as Cape Verde continues to be the must-visit destination," he said.

Cape Verde is set to benefit from a series of developments on the islands of Sal and Sao Vicente over the next few moths, such as at beach properties near Dunas beach resort.

These will include a golf and leisure complex, pools and a gym.
