Tourism in Cape Verde: an analysis from the perspective of demand.

In the last few years the economic model of the islands of Cape Verde has undergone a significant change. This paper analyses Cape Verde's economic transformation over the last decade, which is mainly attributable to tourism. For this analysis, the results of fieldwork carried out in the three islands in the archipelago are presented, in which foreign tourists' perceptions and opinions are examined. The results show the high level of tourist satisfaction, the need to reinforce links between the tourism sector and the local community and tourists' high evaluation of the beaches, restaurants and hospitality.
