New air service for Cape Verde

A new air service is being launched to Cape Verde, something that may help boost tourist property in the archipelago.

The French carrier XL Airways has revealed it is to start a new service from Paris to the island of Sal in October, initially running every Friday until April 30th, Macauhub reports.

Chairman of the airline Laurent Magnin said: "Cape Verde is a winter adventure, to start off with, that we are going to try to extend to the rest of the year."

The advent of the new route could offer Britons hopping across the channel another way to get to the islands, while possibly boosting tourist rental property in Cape Verde by raising the number of French visitors.

Another boost for Cape Verde has been the recent news that it will be joined to the new West Africa Cable System, which will provide enhanced communications including faster internet access, something tourists and investors may enjoy.
