• With today’s reopening of the Riu Palace Boavista, the chain is resuming its activity on the Boavista Island after being closed for a year

• On the 10th of September, it will be followed by the Riu Funana hotel, located on Sal Island

With these openings, RIU now has three hotels open in Cape Verde, a destination that is coming back to life little by little. All of them are operating with complete normality and applying the strict anti-COVID-19 protocols that have proved successful in all RIU hotels during these months. It should be noted that the employees of the three establishments have started the vaccination process, which is expected to be completed in the upcoming weeks. This will provide employees and guests an additional peace of mind and safety. In addition, before the reopening, all the hotels’ departments have undergone training in coordination with the PREVERISK consultancy firm. Thanks to this course, all staff members in Cape Verde have been thoroughly instructed on how to protect themselves and our guests.

With the reopening of these two hotels, the RIU chain is taking a big step towards the complete recovery of its activity. It now has three of its six hotels open, two on Sal Island and one in Boavista. Internationally, of its 100 hotels around the world, the chain has gradually reopened 91 establishments.
