While tourism already accounts for approximately 25 percent of Cape Verde’s GDP, the state is seeking to move up the value chain. By inviting investment into integrated resorts, officials aim to attract higher-spending tourists who stay longer and spend more, aiming to decouple the economy from seasonal, low-margin beach visitors. Significant portions of revenue in foreign-owned resorts often repatriate to parent companies abroad, limiting the "multiplier effect" within the local Cape Verdean economy. Cape Verde faces the inverse problem: it has a framework but lacks the sheer volume of local market demand to support indigenous operators.

Rather than being allocated according to economic priorities, public resources are allocated to initiatives that present opportunities for private profit. Although borrowing is frequently required to finance development, corruption undermines the efficacy of public spending and complicates debt management.
