Cabo Verde’s human development index (HDI) grew by 11% between 2000 and 2013 and stood, in 2014, at 0,636. Today’s economy is mainly shaped by the tertiary sector (almost 70% of GDP), with the tourism industry already representing about 30% of GDP. The industry expects robust growth rates, from half a million tourists in 2013 to one million tourists per year by 2020.
