The British market has been paying particular attention to Cape Verde in the past year, with the archipelago becoming one of the preferred destinations for British nations to take their vacations or purchase second homes. The island of Santiago has been of particular interest, with the construction of resorts and luxury homes. São Vicente has also attracted English and Irish tourists and homebuyers looking for a place in the sun to relax after a year of work in Europe.

The month of November also saw the first charter flights between the United Kingdom and Cape Verde.
