Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Tourism and Handicraft Fair (EXPOTUR) starts today, in Sal, and runs until Sunday, the 23rd. In addition to national companies. The organization anticipates the participation of more than 15 ECOWAS countries.
According to the organization, after some time of “interregnum”, due to the pandemic, EXPOTUR – Cape Verde Tourism Fair, returns this year with a “new face”, with a particular focus on the international tourist demand market, assuming a new dimension as the Cape Verde Tourism and Handicraft Fair.
“Cape Verde, more precisely the islands of Sal and Boa Vista, already have, to a certain extent, their tourist demand markets consolidated, namely English, German, Portuguese and French; emerging tourist markets, northern Europe (Czech, Swedish, etc.), who seek these islands between the months of October and April, clearly defining the high season and the low season in tourism”, they advance.
Therefore, this, says the organization, shows that the seasonality of the destination is “very present and needs to be worked on”.
One of the measures to be taken to minimize its impact on the tourism sector, they inform, is the diversification of tourist demand, “both in time and in space”, attracting new markets that come essentially in the low season that goes from May to September.
The Fair, which is scheduled to open this afternoon in Santa Maria, provides for an intense program of debates on the topic of tourism, given our realities and challenges facing the sector, as well as business meetings (B2B ), in addition to the cultural component.
