The purpose of this research is to understand the potential of Cabo Verde as an adventure travel destination and the island of Santo Antão as a world-class hiking hotspot. The methodology followed a four-pronged approach to incorporate the vision of travelers visiting the country, the trade industry and international tour operators, a technical expert analysis, and secondary research of the hiking sector globally.
