RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Perspectives for community‐driven tourism in Cape Verde T2 Perspectivas del turismo comunitario en Cabo Verde A1 Bozzato, Simone A1 Pollice, Fabio K1 Turismo comunitario K1 Islas de Cabo Verde K1 Turismo sostenible K1 Isla de Santiago K1 Turismo comunitario AB In developing countries, most of the time, tourism is characterised by an exogenous variable.Instead of reducing social issues, not only does this characteristic feature increase them but it also hasnegative repercussions on a cultural level and on the environment, with complete disregard for the keyprinciples of sustainable development. Local communities are not usually able to interpret the potentialfor tourism development since they do not share common core needs with it. Consequently, the underlyingneeds of international tourism flows are neither interpreted nor understood. In this paper, the proposedstrategy is community‐based tourism. Its core can be found in the integral mapping and management ofevery single component of Cape Verdean tourism that is given in the most interesting areas in terms ofenvironment, landscape, and culture on the island. The development of identifying social and cultural traitsplays a fundamental role when considering the balance between the tourist’s needs and expectations, andthe needs of the host population.
