Resumo(s)
Cape Verde, a small insular development economy (SIDS), has been confronted and faces various
economic, social and environmental constraints throughout its history that have been conditioning
its growth strategy.
In recent years, tourism has been growing and consolidating an important contribution to
economic development, which is observable in the evolution of the number of nights spent in the
country, revenue, number of guests, employment generation, and incentive to export among
others. The gross added value of tourism currently has a weight that is already more than 20% of
its GDP (excluding the COVID-19 pandemic period).
Aware of this potential, the Government created conditions for a greater use of its effects as a
mobilizing factor in the economy. Accordingly, various official supporting documents and strategic
orientations have been approved, such as the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development and the
Main Options of the Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development for the Tourism Activity.
It was also decided that each island or region should develop its own strategic tourism plan
(Masterplan). This paper integrates the main strategic reflections regarding the Tourism Master
Plan for the Island of Santiago.
Revenue from tourism on the Island of Santiago, where the capital of Cape Verde is located, has
been much less than the values of the main islands with a high volume of tourists – Sal and Boa
Vista. However, the potential of Santiago is high, and therefore it is necessary to adopt the correct
measures required to transform this potential into reality.
Therefore, this paper presents a short, medium and long-term vision, with a proposal for strategic
objectives that will constitute the anchor on which all operational strategic and objectives that will
translate into specific lines of action will be based.
In summary, this document proposes a strategy based on a diversified and differentiated touristic
offer from the other islands of the country, which maximises its potential, counteracting regional
asymmetries and preserving the historical and intangible heritage, as well as the natural resources,
with the aim for the whole population to benefit from the resultant economic development,
especially the most disadvantaged.
