Dominica in the News!


There is so much buzz about Dominica right now. What is it all about?





An article about Dominica entitled Hidden Caribbean received the Best National Newspaper Award at the Caribbean Tourism Organization's Caribbean Travel Journalist Awards 2009 held in London. The article was done by Elizabeth Day and published in the Observer newspaper. http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2009/jan/11/dominica-windward-travel-caribbean

Other highly commened articles of Dominica were mentioned such as the one in The Guardian - Still Word Perfect

Our 2010 Calendar of Events was released which provides the dates and the many events which are awaiting here in the Nature Island. We are ready to do it all over again! Are you?

Carnival, Dive Fest and the World Creole Music Festival are some of the flagship events along with many other village feasts. Some events like Hike Fest is really going to get you in shape for the year with a different hiking location every week; the Rabbit Festival where you can see rabbit races and enjoy different dishes. May is known as 'Tourism Month' and this will be a month filled with many activities held throughout the island. The year will be booming with interesting and new additions to the calendar which makes it impossible not to find something to do.

Another feature appeared in the Chicago Examiner "Dominica's 2010 Events" which gives a brief description of some of the events and a lovely view of one of the many waterfalls - Victoria Falls.

The Limite Magazine (US publication) also featured a story on Dominica entitled "The Caribbean's Nature Island - where you're urged to defy the everyday" displaying stunning aerial shots of different points on the island and really calls for a visit.

Dominica is contagious thus the popularity in the news and is surely an island you will enjoy.
