Maio welcomes 50 potential investors |Maio, Cape Verde

The Boa Vista and Maio Integrated Tourist Development Corporation (SDTIBM) will promote a meeting with some 50 Cape Verdean and foreign investors on October 15 in order to present tourist investment opportunities on the two islands. The meeting will take place on Boa Vista.

SDTIBM executive administrator José Carvalho explains that “environmental protection and preservation areas represent 46% of the total area” of tourist development zones on the two islands, and that “the remaining 54% is aimed at tourist enterprises.” Carvalho specifies that only 9% of this 54% is set aside for construction.

Of the lands projected for construction, 12.5% is located in Chave, 8% in Morro de Areia, Santa Mónica and to the south of Porto Inglês, 8.22% in Ribeira Dom João and 15% in Ponta de Pau Seco.

Private Cape Verdean airline Halcyonair has announced the resumption of regular inter-island flights beginning today, September 25. As a way of enticing passengers and making up for the complications caused during the period in which its aircraft was not flying, the company is offering special fares on its Sal-São Vicente and Praia-São Vicente route.

Order Your Bread at the Casa Blanca Supermarket |Maio Cape Verde

There are two sources of bread in Morro... both of which are inconvenient for Villa Maris people, in as much as you must be in Morro at 6am to buy it... and it's gone shortly after. Due to the present lack of demand, Casa Blanca does not sell bread, however, as a convenience and a gesture of good will towards Villa Maris residents, Casa Blanca will, free of charge, take orders for bread which may be picked up the at the customer's leisure.
