Cash Rich Property Investors due to Cape Verde Tourism Surge

capeverdepropertyportal — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 09:57:21 +0000

Tourists from the UK visiting Cape Verde have reached an all time high with an 814% increase from the 2007 figures. Accounting for 17.5% of the overall tourist numbers, UK visitors now make up the second highest numbers after Portugal.

Predicted by top travel companies to be one of the hottest destinations for UK tourists in 2009, Cape Verde has exceeded expectations with an 814% increase of visitors originating from the UK from the previous year. The dramatic growth experienced in the tourism industry has kept hotels at a steady year-round occupancy of 80%, providing outstanding opportunities for buy-to-let real estate investments. Cape Verde Property Portal can provide buyers with extensive knowledge on making the most of Cape Verde’s tourism growth through property investments.

A recent study relating to holiday booking trends explained that 60% of all UK tourists now book self catering accommodation, with an excess of 35% being booked directly with the owners online. These figures are showing potential for increased returns on overseas property purchased for rental purposes.

Stuart Hill from Cape Verde Property Portal says “We prefer to maintain a conservative stance when calculating rental returns for our clients, operating on strictly achievable figures rather than making wild and unrealistic claims.”

Market studies carried out by Cape Verde Property Portal for the rental potential of their high quality properties offered in Cape Verde calculate annual rental returns of between 10-17% as conservative figures. Stuart Hill went on to say “Our figures might not be as exciting as our fellow international estate agents might promote, and it is true that we might lose some clients who are lured by the claims of great returns elsewhere by those with less integrity; however the clients who are attracted by our conservative figures should not be disappointed.”
With the Cape Verde National Statistics office reporting that tourism was increasing by approximately 22% per annum and anticipated to continue well into the next decade, the projected forecast for 1 million tourists to the islands by 2015 is a realistic possibility that should not be overlooked by real estate investors.

Cape Verde plans to invest in its own sustainable growth

capeverdepropertyportal — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:39:15 +0000

Cape Verde plans on remaining the shining example of a developing economy that uses aid wisely to invest in its own sustainable growth.
Due to its climate, Cape Verde has always been short on water supply, now with the investment property market and hotel industry growing – Cape Verde has chosen to tackle this issues sooner rather than later. Japan, who has taken an interest is Cape Verde since it’s independence in 1975, will be giving Cape Verde approximately 10M€ specifically to fund the creation of new drinking water production systems in the Islands. In addition, the capital city of Praia is also increasing its water resources by doubling the desalination capacity by year end.
