The international property developers are focusing on high-end hotels and resorts which are superior designed, more sustainable and attraction for foreigner tourists.

Surrounded by Dominica’s Cabrits National Park, the hotel construction can be seen in full flow. The initial infrastructure is almost completed, where some interior and exterior making is going on.

The Kempinski resort features world-class accommodation with superior hospitality as well as access to the island’s 365 rivers, countless waterfalls and natural boiling springs. The 151 room resort with its breathtaking panoramic view of the Caribbean sea provides guests with luxury amenities.
Few months earlier in a youth forum at Portsmouth, General Manager of Kempinski resort, Michael Schoonewagen addressed the impact of the hotel to the local economy, how to optimize business opportunities to work hand in hand to meet the standards of the hotel.

Moreover, a few days earlier Dominica’s government lead by Dominica Labour Party also initiated the National Beautification campaign, under which the government with the help of local volunteer and public, will beautify the country and roads.
