Cape Verde 'benefits from tourism'

Article Date : Wednesday, October 10, 2007

The west African archipelago of Cape Verde is strongly benefiting from the growth of tourism, the country's prime minister has said.

Jose Maria Neves stated that during every year since 2002, the islands' economy grew at a rate of about 20 per cent, reports Travel Daily News.

This was attributed to the growing popularity of Cape Verde as a tourist destination, as it has resulted in both visitors and foreign investors putting money into the local economy.

Speaking at an annual meeting of the Africa Travel Association in New York, Mr Neves said this would help the economy to expand and grow.

He described the tourist sector as "the main engine of growth and transformation" on the Cape Verde islands.

Mr Neves' comments come ahead of the launch of new flights by the islands' national carrier TACV, which is offering direct passage to and from London.

The carrier will service both Sal and Praia and begin flying at the end of this month.
