MANGUE MONTENEGRO TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Mangue Monte Negro Zone, located on the island of Santiago, in Cape Verde, was declared an Integral Tourism Development Zone and the Government decided to carry out a Master Plan for Tourism (POT). The POT's area of intervention lies mainly in the municipality of Santa Cruz (Santiago, Monte Negro and Achada Ponta).

This area has a high environmental and scenic interest, being, in particular, an important nesting area for sea turtles. Therefore, a form of sustainable tourism is proposed, taking into account the environmental, social and economic aspects, in line with territorial development options at the national, regional and municipal levels, with a low-density touristic typology and complying with strict environmental criteria .
