Why Cape Verde

 

Capital appreciation - the tourism and infrastructure developments mean the Cape Verde islands will become increasingly popular with holiday makers and investors.  On some islands, land has appreciated at 40% per annum.

Tourist Development - the government has earmarked 4 islands for tourist development - Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago and Maio.  With a growth of 25% in tourist numbers over the last few years, the islands represent a huge potential tourist destination, receiving currently less than 250,000 visitors per annum, compared to the almost 10 million in the Canary islands.

Rental income - the perfect all year climate of 25C with virtually no rainfall will allow for year long holiday rentals.  For the correct developments, a mix of customers is only likely to ensure high all-year rental occupancy.

Direct 5.5 hour flights from several countries in the world, including direct flights from Manchester and Gatwick, as well as easy connections via Lisbon and Amsterdam.  The site will be 15 minutes maximum from the airport.

Political Stability - A functioning parliamentary political system. Absence of any ethnic, religious or political conflict.

Picturesque environment - beautiful white sandy beaches, clear turquoise warm water, breathtaking mountains,

It’s Safe - social and political stability and negligible crime. The people are very friendly and there is none of the intense salesmanship that exists in West Africa or indeed in parts of Sal (due to burgeoning emigrant community).
