Mass tourism vs sustainability

“I AM SAVIO”

It's not just about helping travellers with their questions

I am Savio,

I just finished my internship at vista verde tours office in Mindelo.
Let me give you a short inside view of me and my perspective in respect to tourism on Cape Verde.

I chose tourism as a second option to study as, at first, I intended to proceed with computing and programming, but due to some complications I have decided to dedicate my studies to the tourism area. In my opinion and for what I have experienced until today, it turned out to be a great choice, so with no doubt I would do it again.

At first, the studies helped me to get rid of the "closed mind" ideas of tourism, such as thinking of it being just a bunch of people traveling to another country, and the only services related to it was the guiding. We were taught to analyze the tourism area in its full complexity and all the factors and infrastructures that allow and support the tourism area along with all the different types and forms of tourism and their peculiarities.
