Frequently asked questions
How attractive is Cabo Verde as a destination for visitors from Türkiye?
Cabo Verde offers a unique appeal for Turkish travelers, being an inviting island destination in the mid-Atlantic. Although it experiences lower tourist numbers than major global destinations, it could attract a segment of the 2.7 million Turks who travel abroad annually.
Please answer the following question: How safe is Cabo Verde for tourists coming from Türkiye?
Cabo Verde is generally considered safe for tourists, but there are some factors to consider when comparing safety with Türkiye. While Türkiye ranks 31st among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, there is no specific safety ranking available for Cabo Verde. According to the Global Peace Index, Türkiye is ranked 137th out of 160 countries, indicating some safety concerns. In terms of murder rates, Cabo Verde has a higher rate at 6.5 per 100,000 people compared to Türkiye's 2.5. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Cabo Verde at 3.3 and Türkiye at 1.0. When looking at organized crime indices, Türkiye scores higher in several categories, indicating a more significant presence of organized crime. For example, Türkiye has a mafia group index of 8.0 compared to Cabo Verde's 2.5. However, Cabo Verde has higher scores in certain crime areas, such as foreign crime (7.0) compared to Türkiye's 5.0. In summary, while Cabo Verde is generally safe for tourists, it is essential to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions, especially considering the higher murder rates and certain organized crime concerns.
