Buyer Application Closed
AdventureWEEK Cabo Verde
BUYER APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED!
This application closed on 23 October 2025. Applications will be reviewed and final decisions made in November.
ATTA, Cabo Verde Tourism Institute (ITCV), and the Ministry of Tourism and Transportation of Cabo Verde would like to invite you to apply for a Hosted Buyer opportunity for the AdventureWEEK Cabo Verde event from 3-12 February 2026.
Who should apply:
The ATTA and the ITCV are interested in Tour Operators, Travel Advisors or OTAs buyers that specialize in adventure and sustainable travel, and are looking to expand their offerings in Cabo Verde. Selected buyer delegates will learn about Cabo Verde through immersive adventure tours and make connections with regional suppliers at Marketplace. Buyers should apply whose primary customer base comes from any of the following countries:
- Europe: Western Europe (UK, Germany, etc)
- Europe: Nordic Countries (Scandinavia)
- Europe: Central & Eastern Europe (including Russia & Turkey)
- USA
- Latin America (including Mexico and Central/South America)
If selected, the entire trip length will be ten (10) days total, plus the travel time from your origin city. AdventureWEEK final itinerary will be made after buyers' selections and registrations are complete.
Selected hosted buyer delegates will receive:
- Accommodations during the event
- Economy round-trip air
- Airport transfers
- A multi-day experiential adventure at no cost
Role and expectations if you are selected:
- As a hosted buyer, you are expected to be actively learning about the adventure travel opportunities available in Cabo Verde in an effort to drive future business to the destination.
- As a hosted buyer, you are expected to attend all the scheduled activities during the AdventureWEEK Cabo Verde, including the Marketplace meetings on the last day.
- As a hosted buyer, you are required to complete up to 4 online confidential surveys about itinerary development and sales to the destination over a period of two years (subject to change).
These surveys are essential for reporting successes and challenges to our host destination partners—allowing them to track and report the long-term economic impact of new and strengthened business in the region, and to timely learn the challenges faced by the travel trade in selling the host destination. These findings have the potential to inform both the travel trade development strategy and the marketing strategy of the host destination.
About the selection process:
- There is a maximum number of spots available for buyers for this event.
- Selections will be made from the pool of applications received.
- Applications will be reviewed and selected by and with the destination partner.
- A cross-set of criteria is used in the evaluation process to result in a final curation of the small group representing the specific countries listed above.
- Due to the limited number of spots and the need to curate the final group, not all qualified applications will be selected.
You will receive an email informing you of the status of your application in late November. Please do not contact us asking for your status. If you have not heard from us, your application is still under consideration.
