Cape Verde is showing its interest in attracting Chinese tourists with its presence at the International Tourist Fair in Beijing.
According to José Correia, secretary of the Cape Verdean embassy in Beijing, “China is one of the countries with most tourism potential.” If anything that is a bit of an understatement when you consider the remarkable growth of China’s tourism sector. It posted a 22.6 % increase in 2007, which brought the value of the market to US$155.7 billion.

The Cape Verde group Oásis Atlântico continues to invest in real estate and the tourism industry in Cape Verde with the new Salinas development. Consisting of the Salinas Sea, private luxury apartments in a 5 star apart-hotel and the Salina Sand holiday resort in the St. Maria area of Sal this new development will cost an approximate €57 million.
