Resumo(s)
This exploratory and conceptual paper aims to demonstrate the relevance of literary heritage
to enhance the tourist experience and development of the Chão Bom Resistance Museum in Tarrafal
(Cape Verde). This study contributes to the construction of the African literary landscape and lls the
gap in the research on literary tourism in African destinations. Methodologically, the paper analyses
primary and secondary data to identify literary texts and authors associated with the site that can help
shape the site's literary landscape and suggest literary tourism products and experiences be implemented
at the museum. The study is grounded in literary tourism studies, in the notion that literature can play
a signi cant testimonial and enhancing role in tourism. It reviews the literature on literary tourism in
African destinations. The main ndings point towards a substantive gap in the literature concerning
literary tourism in African countries and a need for cultural promotion of literary tourist destinations
aimed at both literary and non-literary tourists
