Abstract(s)
The study of competitiveness has been constantly gaining importance in recent decades.
Cape Verde Government elected Tarrafal as a development hub of tourism competitiveness. Since the
empirical validation of competitiveness Cape Verde is still shortfall, so the current research aims to
analyze the determinants of competitive advantage of tourism in Tarrafal. To achieve this goal, it was
adopted a qualitative methodology based on a sample of the major 136 key players in the tourism area
and the creation of four working groups during Tarrafal Technical Days (1 and 2 July 2022) to better
discuss these issues. The discussion of the nal conclusions from each working group, allowed to systematize
some major development alternatives to Tarrafal as a strategic tourism hub. Major implications
for managers were also presented, such as the importance to develop and reinforce cultural traditions,
reinforce entrepreneurship in order to maximize the tourism chain value through the implementation of
better infrastructures (better roads, a maritime port as well as an aerodrome), diversify the tourist o er
based on di erent segments (culture, nature, sports, events, remote working among others) and bene t
other regions and municipalities around the county.
