Rewriting an article

I’m going to rewrite an article in English using my own words while keeping the original length. It’s important to maintain the headings like

and

, and formatting for quotes and bullet lists. I won’t translate image tags or the ad divs. The original article has paragraphs and

headings, but no

. I need to ensure that I keep the structure intact and just paraphrase into English. Let’s get to it!Rewriting an extensive article

I need to rewrite an article in English while keeping its length similar to the original, which is quite extensive. It’s essential to paraphrase without changing the content across all sections, from 1 to 12. The article includes various points, like discovering Table Mountain, visiting Robben Island, exploring the V&A Waterfront, and more. Each section, plus a conclusion, must maintain its structure. There’s also a Q&A about the best time to visit Cape Town, so I’ll ensure to include that as well. Let’s get this done!Identifying article structure

The last few sections of the article include a conclusion that discusses planning for either a quick stay or a longer trip. Then, there’s a heading for "What is the best time to go to Cape Town?" which dives into the best travel times. After that, there are more headings about activities in Cape Town during rain and suggestions for kids. Overall, there are 11 main sections plus three Q&A sections, with the 12th section addressing the best time to visit.Rewriting with structure preservation

I need to keep the original headings from 1 to 11, along with the h2 sections such as "What is the best time to go to Cape Town?" and "What to do in Cape Town when it rains?" There are also sections on activities for kids, and I must translate and paraphrase while preserving the HTML structure, including the divs. However, it’s not necessary to replicate ads, and I won’t translate image tags per the instructions. Let’s get started on the rewrite!Translating and paraphrasing

I’m going to translate and paraphrase the text about various locations in Cape Town. The first section will describe the views from the summit, emphasizing the need to check the weather before hiking and mentioning the flora seen in Kirstenbosch Gardens. Next, visiting Robben Island will highlight its historical significance and accessibility via ferry, shedding light on the apartheid struggles, notably those of Nelson Mandela.

I’ll continue with the V&A Waterfront, noting its role in urban life and the variety of experiences available. Then I’ll describe exploring Bo-Kaap, focusing on its cultural history and vibrant atmosphere. I’ll be sure to keep the essence and structure intact while ensuring clarity!

Cape Verde’s Tourism Sector Continues to Grow

Top of Travel


Le chiffre est désormais officiel et témoigne du changement de dimension de la destination : avec 1 248 052 visiteurs enregistrés en 2025, le Cap-Vert affiche une progression solide de +6 % par rapport à l’exercice 2024 (qui comptait 1 177 467 visiteurs).

Ce nouveau record s’inscrit dans une dynamique à long terme spectaculaire.

En l’espace de dix ans seulement, la fréquentation touristique a plus que doublé dans le pays, bondissant de +119 %.

Dans un contexte mondial pourtant marqué par des incertitudes géopolitiques, le Cap-Vert s’impose définitivement comme l’une des valeurs refuges et l’une des destinations les plus dynamiques du continent africain.

Outre sa stabilité politique exemplaire, cet État insulaire situé au large du Sénégal bénéficie d’un climat tropical sec particulièrement clément, avec des températures douces, comprises entre 24 °C et 30 °C, et un ensoleillement quasi permanent qui séduisent les voyageurs en quête de dépaysement.


Cape Verde doubles its number of tourists in 10 years!

This passage past the 1.24 million visitor mark is not an isolated peak, but the result of four years of uninterrupted growth since 2022.

After having first crossed the symbolic milestone of one million tourists in 2023, the archipelago continues to push its limits.

Thus, 6,120,204 overnight stays were recorded in 2025, an increase of +8.3 % (higher than the growth in arrivals, a sign that tourists stay longer or spend more).

The bed occupancy rate rose to 72 %, gaining 12 percentage points in one year, and as much as 20 points compared with 2022 (52 %).

These indicators prove that the Cape Verde model is not subjected to a fleeting trend, but rests on solid fundamentals, managing to smooth its visitation across all quarters of the year thanks to a diversified offering.


Cape Verde: Sal and Boa Vista, engines behind this record of attendance

While all ten islands of the archipelago benefit from this appeal, this historic record of 1.24 million visitors is largely driven by its two seaside powerhouses.

Sal Island remains the primary anchor of tourist flows, capturing 57.7% of arrivals by itself.


It is firmly complemented by Boa Vista, which records 24.4% of arrivals and shows an exceptionally strong occupancy rate, confirming travelers’ preference for its endless fine-sand beaches and its premier hotel complexes.

Together, these island pillars drain more than 82% of visitors, attracting a largely European clientele, non-residents representing 95.5% of total arrivals. Within this market, France stands out as the 4th global partner, with more than 120,000 travelers in 2025.

French tourists are distinguished by a strong appetite for green and cultural tourism. They feed the more preserved islands such as Santo Antão, renowned for its striking volcanic reliefs and hiking trails, Santiago, historic cradle housing Cidade Velha, or São Vicente, the archipelago’s cultural and musical capital, inseparable from the famed singer Cesária Évora.

A trend that demonstrates that, behind the overall record figures, Cape Verde is progressively succeeding in diversifying its sectors.
