    A weak rain band associated with Hurricane Humberto is forecasted to impact the islands north of Dominica within the next 24 hours, with potential spillover effects extending southwards towards Dominica today.

  • Dominica joins the rest of the world in the observance of World Tourism Day today

    Dominica joins the rest of the world in the observance of World Tourism Day today

    On September 27th, Dominica marked World Tourism Day, reaffirming its commitment to becoming a resilient and innovative tourism destination. Tourism Minister Denise Charles-Pemberton emphasized that tourism is more than just an industry for Dominica—it is a national mission that empowers communities, sustains livelihoods, and promotes the island’s unique identity as the ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean.’

    In her statement, Charles-Pemberton highlighted the strides Dominica has made in recovering from the challenges of the global pandemic. The government’s efforts to expand air access, improve infrastructure, and advance sustainable practices have yielded significant results. With weekly flights by United Airlines, daily services by American Airlines, and expanded regional routes through Contour Airlines and Caribbean Airlines, Dominica has become more accessible to international travelers.

    A key milestone in this journey is the extension and grooving of the Douglas-Charles Airport’s runway, a project that enhances safety and prepares the island for larger aircraft. This development is part of the broader plan to establish Dominica as a hub for international travel.

    Cruise tourism continues to thrive, creating opportunities for local vendors, tour operators, farmers, and cultural performers. Additionally, Dominica’s pristine waters and world-class diving and whale-watching experiences have solidified its reputation as the Caribbean’s premier eco-marine destination.

    Cultural tourism also plays a vital role, with events like the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) and Dominica’s bouyon music scene energizing the youth, fostering national pride, and attracting thousands of visitors annually. These pillars of air, cruise, marine, and cultural tourism collectively create a diversified product that benefits every Dominican.

    Charles-Pemberton underscored the importance of collaboration between the government, private sector, cultural groups, and the diaspora in driving tourism growth. Through fiscal incentives, training programs, and strategic policies, the government ensures that the benefits of tourism reach every household.

    As Dominica celebrates World Tourism Day under the theme ‘Tourism and Sustainable Transformation,’ the island stands proudly on a path from recovery to renewal, and now to resilience. The mission is clear: to secure Dominica’s place as a world-class destination rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and shared prosperity.

    In a significant step toward improving living conditions and empowering citizens, the government of Dominica handed over keys to 16 modern apartment units to families in Eggleston this week. The ceremony, held at the State House Conference Centre, marked a milestone in the government’s Housing Programme. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit assured the beneficiaries that they would receive grant title ownership for their homes at the appropriate time, enabling them to leverage their properties for financial opportunities such as loans to start small businesses. ‘We are giving you these new homes to empower you as citizens of this country,’ Skerrit emphasized. He also addressed those still awaiting their turn, assuring them that progress is being made, as 16 families have now been removed from the waiting list. The Prime Minister highlighted the government’s commitment to supporting vulnerable populations, including senior citizens and single parents, who often face challenges such as inadequate housing and exploitative landlords. ‘We use the little resources we have to build homes for them so that their children can have hope and confidence in the future,’ he stated. Chekira Lockhart-Hypolite, Parliamentary Representative for the Roseau South Constituency, described the event as a new beginning for the beneficiaries, emphasizing the transformative impact of the resilient homes. She acknowledged the overwhelming demand for housing, with 515 applications received, and pledged to continue working to improve living conditions for all applicants.
