Cape Verde tourist market is growing

Cape Verde's tourist market is set to see further growth in the near future, a specialist publication has reported.

Jet-to-Let magazine stated that growing demand for holidays in the west African archipelago was prompting more and more airlines to introduce direct flights.

The media outlet said the launch of extra services could lead to Cape Verde attracting about half a million visitors a year within the next decade.

Furthermore, it predicted that an influx of extra visitors would lead to local authorities developing brand new holiday homes in desirable areas, such as coastal resorts or near facilities such as golf courses.

Jet-to-Let added that Cape Verde was very similar to the Caribbean in terms of its climate, although it said it was much closer to the UK and more affordable.

This comes shortly after the country was highlighted by TUI Travel as a particularly popular destination with British leisure travellers this year.

This is music to the ears of people who have brought investment property in Cape Verde. The country has long been mooted as one of the worlds future property hotspots.
