Located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Senegal, western Africa, Cape Verde comprises a total 10 islands and 8 islets. Not many relatively unknown destinations have the good fortune to be voted, the 10th most desirable location to invest in by the UK Channel 4 programme A Place in the Sun "20 best places to buy in the sun". Having recognised the importance of foreign investment and tourism the government has allocated vast sums of money for improvements to the infrastructure and amenities. From a business perspective there are many reasons why you should consider investing in the initial phase of growth in this tropical paradise; exchange rate of the local currency is fixed to the euro, a new International Airport on the island of Santiago is now receiving direct flights from the USA and what's more, analysts predict a 70% increase in property value over the next 24 months. For those running ahead of the pack, property prices are currently on a par with Eastern Europe but with added benefits of a tropical climate. This is a real opportunity to own a piece of tomorrow's holiday property, at today's price. You really can have the best of both worlds!
