Cape Verde is a former Portuguese colony that is now an independent country. Cape Verde is compromised of 10 islands and five islets. Situated on the west coast of Africa and just over an hours flying time south of the canaries, this group of islands has beaches to die for and a burgeoning tourism trade.
In a decade Cape Verde could be a household name for mass tourism. With multi-million pound investment programmes planned for hotels and infrastructure, the property gold rush is still in its infancy.
Presently, about 130,000 tourists visit Cape Verde each year. By the year 2015 it is anticipated that tourist numbers should increase to about 500,000 per year.
The Cape Verde Government are currently offering tax breaks as incentives for investors and because of the political and financial stability of the islands you can even get an international mortgage.
