What about over-development, some destinations seem to have too many properties and not enough tourists!

•This is true for some destinations–Caused mainly by a lack of government control

•Cape Verde law prohibits high rise and high density resorts•Legislation exists to protect land •The size of the Islands further restricts level of development•Property owners will be an exclusive group of investors

Cape Verde can not become saturated = property values will grow

– New Blue Lagoon development for example– Improves swimming conditions– Adds exciting Beach club concept

Billions being invested in continuous improvement = sustainable returns
