The essence of Dominica is adventure .Christopher Columbus found the island on Sunday, or Dominican in Latin, so the country’s name. a Caribbean island known for 750 square kilometers of natural beauty, Dominica is covered in beautiful rainforest-a UNESCO World heritage site-and is home to the world’s second largest hot spring.

Sitting halfway along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago, Dominica is situated only a few miles from Martinique to the south and Guadeloupe to the North. Stretching 751 km² (290 square miles), our island boasts 148 km (91 miles) of coastal line. Dominica’s official name is the ‘Commonwealth of Dominica,’ which is mostly referenced in official communications and to further distinguish the island from the Dominican Republic, its northerly Caribbean sister.
Dominica’s important exports are agricultural and include coffee, cocoa, bananas, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits. Our main exported produced products are rum, timber, and soap. Tourism, which includes a budding eco-tourism industry, is also a main driver of our economy. Please visit the Invest Dominica Authority website for more information on our economy and potentials for investment.
The Government of Dominica is planning to construct a new international airport to welcome direct flights from the United States and Europe.
