AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoTourism & Connectivity: Cape Verde’s World Cup spotlight is already feeding demand, with leaders pushing for more U.S. visitors and direct flights; Cabo Verde Airlines resumed Providence–Praia service in May after an eight-year gap, and the country logged nearly 1.25 million hotel guests in 2025. Maritime Skills & Standards: Cabo Verde-linked maritime training is getting a boost as Ghana’s maritime authority runs a regional programme for seafarer examiners, assessors and instructors, with IMO officials stressing that assessment systems must evolve alongside automation, digital tools, autonomous shipping and alternative fuels. Industry & People-to-People Mobility: The U.S. made its $20,000 visa bond programme permanent for 50 countries, raising travel costs for families and diaspora communities—an issue that can hit cross-border attendance for weddings and funerals. Sports & Global Attention: Cape Verde’s World Cup run is also raising the bigger question of whether the tourism surge can be managed without overwhelming local capacity.
