The recent proposal by the Association of Travel Agencies of Cape Verde (AAVT) - which defends the setting up a company specialising in tourist transport - marks a crucial moment for the development of the sector in the archipelago.
This initiative, reported by Balai CV, not only highlights a point of weakness in the Cape Verdean tourism value chain, but also opens the door to new investment and management opportunities for which S&D Consultancy can be a key partner.
At S&D, we see this defence as a necessary step to elevate the tourist experience and, consequently, the country's attractiveness as a destination of excellence.
The AAVT's (Association of Travel and Tourism Agencies) proposal focuses on the need to create a transport service that meets international standards of quality. quality, safety and punctuality.
Current tourist transport, which is often dispersed and unstandardised, can damage the perception of the destination's value. The main challenges that the creation of this specialised company aims to resolve are:
For a country that has tourism as a fundamental economic pillar (with the sector contributing significantly to GDP), the failure of transport logistics is a risk that urgently needs to be mitigated.
AAVT's defence becomes a business opportunity real for domestic and foreign investors wishing to investing in Cape Verde. However, a project of this scale requires meticulous planning.
This is where Feasibility Study (FS) becomes indispensable, and S&D Consultancy assumes its position as a reference in business consultancy in Cape Verde:

| Inter-island Operational Logistics | We analyse the most profitable routes, the viability of the operation on the different islands (Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago) and fleet management to minimise transport and maintenance costs. |
| Legal Framework and Incentives | We assess the best legal structure for the new company (Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company) and ensure that the project qualifies for the tax incentives provided for in the Code of Fiscal Benefits (CBF) for the tourism and transport sector. |
| Market analysis | We quantified the real demand for a high-quality service, calculating competitive rates and defining the brand's positioning in relation to existing operators. |
