Cape Verde News

Cape Verde could see a major boost in tourism figures according to travel and property experts thanks to the launch of a new inter-island ferry service.

Up until now the only way to get across from one island to another in Cape Verde has been by aeroplane, and real estate experts believe the new transport links could have a huge and positive impact to tourism and of course anyone who has a property to rent. This cheaper and more effective way of travel between the islands is believed to become very popular to the under-25s market travelling to Cape Verde,  articularly to enjoy the outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing and kite-surfing.

Cape Verde has already received a number of great tourism boosts in 2009. It was ranked as number 4 out of Expedia’s ‘Top 10 Destinations to visit worldwide’ for its ‘Year-round sunshine, white sandy beaches and Creole culture. A perfect mix to offer you a relaxing holiday.” New Zealand was ranked at number 1, followed by Argentina and China.

In addition, Cape Verde’s capital city Praia was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site – again boosting the countries’ tourism figures. With more and more exciting developments evolving from this emerging market, Cape Verde is well and truly on the map. It is evident that Cape Verde continues to grow in popularity in terms of travel, holiday and as an investment hot spot for many people around the globe. We firmly believe that this emerging market will only become more buoyant and more visible on the world stage as time goes by... becoming the new Caribbean for Europe!
