Is Cabo Verde Safe for Tourists? A Vlogger Shares His Experience
Cabo Verde: A Tourist Destination's Safety Explored by Vlogger Cabo Verde, an archipelago nation off the northwest coast of Africa, heavily relies on its tourism industry. A recent video by vlogger Antonio Belu addresses a common question among potential visitors: Is Cabo Verde a safe destination? Belu, speaking from a bustling street in Cabo Verde, affirms that the country is largely safe for tourists, emphasizing that the local economy's dependence on tourism ensures a focus on visitor well-being. "Cabo Verde is very safe for tourists because it lives almost 100% from tourism, so it has to be taken care of," he stated. However, Belu also highlighted the importance of vigilance. He advised travelers to be aware of their surroundings and to know which areas to avoid. "Like in any other country, you have to know where to go and where not to go," he explained. He shared varied personal experiences, noting encounters with both welcoming locals and individuals who attempted or succeeded in theft, leading to police intervention in some instances. "I have had very good experiences, I have met very good Cape Verdeans, but I have also met people who have tried to steal, who have stolen, and we have even had to call the police," Belu recounted. His conclusion underscores a balanced perspective: while Cabo Verde is generally secure for visitors, it is essential to maintain awareness and not dismiss potential risks. "It is safe, but don't forget this is Africa, and don't let them tell you nothing happens here, because it can happen," he concluded.
