Cape Verde has recently been voted one of the top ten holiday destinations in the world by Expedia, and tourism there is booming. From 67,000 visitors in 2000 to over 300,000 in 2007, this figure is rising all the time and is expected to top 1,000,000 by 2015.

Cape Verde enjoys a dry, tropical climate with cool currents drifting around the Islands and keeping temperatures to a pleasant 22° to 30° all year round.

As the popularity of Cape Verde increases and land values rise, demand will steadily grow and your property will become more valuable even during construction. In addition, you can look forward to a regular source of income as more and more visitors come to Cape Verde and Sal Island.

Sal Island

The shining star of Cape Verde 

The most popular of the Cape Verde islands, Sal was the first to attract tourists with the opening of the international airport in 1948.

 

• Billions of Euros of international investment into hotels, resorts, golf resorts, marinas, water parks and commercial centres 
• Sal Island accounts for 69% of Cape Verde's rental market
• Tour operators are unable to meet the growing demand from tourists

 

The Government is investing in the Island to create a modern, world class tourist destination. So, the decision to invest in a property on Sal Island is made even easier by the excellent travel links from the UK and throughout Europe. Today, there are regular scheduled flights to Sal's established international airport direct from Birmingham, Gatwick and Manchester. 

Despite the global economic downturn, Cape Verde's economy has been growing since the late 1990's. Foreign investment has been a key driver of this growth, rising from just US$100,000 over seven years ago to US$1.2 billion in 2008.

In addition, the World Bank announced an investment package in August 2007 worth US$237.9 million for a variety of projects, including energy, water, infrastructure and tourism.

It's an emerging and growing market and the Cape Verdean Government is protecting the Island by enforcing strict development rules allowing low density, low-rise projects only.

All in all, Sal Island is at the heart of the investment excitement which surrounds Cape Verde and there's never been a better opportunity to invest for capital growth, rental income or resale.
