Abstract(s)
This paper aims to better understand the concepts of entrepreneurship and tourism, as well as to establish a relationship between entrepreneurship and tourism, focusing on the contribution of these two activities to the economy of Cabo Verde over the last 18th years. The work was done through a literature review on the themes "entrepreneurship" and "tourism" of several authors, who follow the evolution of these themes. The most practical part of this work was done through the analysis of tourism data provided by the National Institute of Statistics of Cabo Verde. The data analysed for the elaboration of this work were given on tourism in the archipelago. With the data it was computed several statistical indicators regarding the tourist firms created in Cabo Verde, between 1999 and 2017, in order to observe the evolution of the business sector with the increase in tourism in Cabo Verde and also the relation of it with the creation of jobs in the sector. Through this work,
it is noted that, tourism has been an activity of fundamental importance for the Cabo Verde economic growth, and that it must be valued and studied in order to find the best ways to explore the tourism potential of the country. With tourism, the Cabo Verdeans should observe the opportunity to undertake and have their own business. Connecting entrepreneurship to the way the flow of tourists increases in Cabo Verde is very important for the development of the country's economy and also to reduce social problems caused
by unemployment. Cabo Verde should rather take advantage of its tourism, to motivate its population to identify the opportunities and to invest in the own business.
