The Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) has introduced a new online training program aimed at educating travel professionals about the Caribbean nation of Dominica. The program, initially available in the United States and the United Kingdom, highlights Dominica’s major tourist attractions through seven key themes: adventure, health and well-being, romance, aquatic activities, culture, events and entertainment, and agrotourism along with Kalinago culture. The Kalinago are the indigenous people of Dominica, and their cultural heritage is an important aspect of the island’s identity.
The training program is designed to be completed online at one’s own pace, making it accessible to a wide range of travel professionals. It focuses on the unique experiences offered by Dominica, such as exploring tropical forests, visiting waterfalls and rivers, exploring volcanic landscapes, engaging in diving and other marine activities, and participating in cultural and community-based experiences. These elements showcase the island’s natural beauty and rich cultural diversity.
The DDA plans to promote the program among travel professionals in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. The initiative is expected to expand further, with the training soon becoming available in France and Germany. This expansion aims to build a larger network of travel consultants who can effectively promote Dominica as a travel destination.
Dominica is accessible through nearby islands such as Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin, and Antigua, which serve as key entry points for visitors. Additionally, a new airport is currently under construction on the island, with an expected opening in 2027. This development is expected to enhance Dominica’s connectivity and support its growing tourism industry.
