Este estudo investigou as perceções dos residentes da Ilha do Sal, Cabo Verde, sobre os efeitos econômicos, socioculturais e ambientais do turismo, com base em 210 questionários aplicados. Os
resultados indicam que 97,6% dos residentes reconhecem a importância do turismo na criação de
empregos, especialmente nos setores de hotelaria e comércio. No entanto, 86,2% dos entrevistados
apontam a distribuição desigual desses benefícios, destacando que os postos de trabalho mais lucrativos são ocupados por não residentes. No plano sociocultural, 54,3% dos participantes reconhecem o intercâmbio cultural proporcionado pelo turismo, mas 74,3% dos residentes ajustaram seus hábitos para evitar o contato com turistas, revelando tensões sociais. Em relação aos efeitos ambientais, 60% dos residentes acreditam que o turismo promove a preservação das áreas naturais, mas 49,5% mencionam o aumento de resíduos, e 41,4% alertam para a crescente pressão sobre os recursos hídricos. O estudo conclui que, embora o turismo traga benefícios econômicos e culturais significativos, é essencial implementar políticas públicas que promovam a equidade econômica e mitiguem os efeitos sociais e ambientais, assegurando um desenvolvimento turístico sustentável.
