This report is not about figures, but about either at already developed destinations such as Sal or trends and travel motivations of tourists: quantitative at less developed destinations such as Boa Vista using data on tourism may help to understand geographical product development and diversification strategy. The spread of generating tourism market, as well as principle would be to position each island differently and tourism expenses. However, it does not allow for an to engage in competition to enhance service quality; in understanding of a tourist’s motivation for travel. Thus general, a complementary tourism offer within sensitive a qualitative approach is used for market segmentation, coastal areas is to be generated. which proposes value-driven positioning, and facilitates better catering for tourist’s needs.

Garcia-Talavera ^useo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre Apartado 853, 38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Islas Canarias ABSTRACT Several Quaternary marine deposits (Upper Pleistocene and Holocene) on the islands of Sal, Boavista and Santiago (Cape Verde Islands) have been studied, paying particular attention to the malacofauna. Of the eighty-three species identified (53 gastropods and 30 bivalves) more than a half are reported for the first time. Five of the six sites on Sal have been studied for the first time. Paleobiogeographical comparisons between present and Quaternary marine fauna of the Cape Verde Islands are discussed. Key words: Malacological fauna, marine Quaternary, Cape Verde Islands. RESUMEN Se estudian los depositos mas representativos del Cuaternario marino reciente (Pleistoceno Superior y Holoceno) de las islas Sal, Boa Vista y Santiago (Archipielago de Cabo Verde), fundamentalmente la malacofauna contenida en ellos. Un total de 83 especies (53 gasteropodos y 30 bivalvos) han sido determinados, de las cuales mas de la mitad son nuevas citas para el Cuaternario marino de Cabo Verde. Asimismo, de los 6 yacimientos estudiados en Sal, 5 son nuevos. La comparacion de la fauna cuaternaria con la actual nos ha permitido obtener interesantes consideraciones paleobiogeograficas.

They primarily consist of low-elevation (::::;;2m above sea level [a.s.l.]) marine deposits made of a basal conglomerate embedded in carbonate mud, passing upwards to ca1carenites. All deposits contain an abundant fauna with corals, algae and molluscs with Strombus latus Gmelin and accompanying warm water species of the "Senegalese" fauna. Small scale geomorphological mapping with detailed Eastern Atlantic morphosedimentary analysis revealed lateral facies changes and imbricate (offlapping) structures that suggest last interglacial small-scale oscillations of paleo-sealevels during high sea stand intervals. U-series measurements (in coral Holocene 5.5 marine terrace fragments) allowed unequivocal identification of Marine Isotope Substage (MIS) units, but were not barrier island precise enough to date the sea level oscillations of the interval.

In the last few years, a sharp increase in the number of descriptions of new species of West African cone snails, particularly from the Cabo Verde Archipelago, has taken place. In previous studies, we used mitogenome sequences for reconstructing robust phylogenies, which comprised in total 120 individuals representing the majority of species (69.7%) described from this biogeographical region (except Angolan endemics) and grouped into seven genera within the family Conidae.

  • Cape Verde 2.0: Branding and Tourism Development Across the Archipelago
    Vol. 17 N.o 3. Special Issue. Págs. 527‑540. 2019 https://doi.org/10.25145/j.pasos.2019.17.037 www.pasosonline.org Pedro F. Marcelino, Luzia Oca Gonzaléz Cape Verde 2.0: branding and tourism development across the archipelago Pedro F. Marcelino* Longyearbyen Consulting (Canada) Luzia Oca Gonzaléz* University of Trás ‑os ‑Montes (Portugal) Abstract: This article homes in on the genesis and the development process of tourism in the Cabo Verdes Islands, West Africa, from its definition as a national priority in the post ‑independence period, to its qualification as a strategic sector in the 1990s, to the prioritizing of the sector as a core economic pillar for the 21s Century. From the analysis of the brand launched by the government in 2010/2011 (One Country, Ten Destinations), the article goes on to dissect several examples of built heritage privatization process, gentrification, and space wars in various islands. While the analysis focuses on Cabo Verde specifically, the country’s geographical dynamics and the phenomenology typical of an insular micro ‑market, allows for a theoretical framework that is applicable to other geographies and contexts. Keywords: Tourism; Cape Verde; Tourist destination. Cabo Verde 2.0: desarrollo de marca y turismo en todo el archipiélago Resumen: El artículo se detiene en el proceso de aparición y desarrollo del turismo en Cabo Verde, desde su definición como prioridad nacional en los tiempos de la independencia, a su consideración de sector estratégico en la década de 90 y de pilar económico en el siglo XXI. A través del análisis de la marca lanzada en 2010/11 por las autoridades (Un país, diez destinos), el trabajo aborda varios ejemplos de procesos de privatización patrimonial, gentrificación y guerras espaciales en las diversas islas.
