Thriving Tourism in Dominica
It is to be noted that the government of the Commonwealth of Dominica is working continuously to expand the tourism sector of the country. Every year, the island welcomes a huge number of visitors by air and cruise. Usually, the travellers want to visit the island again because of its affordable nature, warm hospitality by locals and a lot of things to do and explore. Also, the country hosts a number of unique festivals, including Mas Domnik, which attracts a massive number of tourists annually. This year, Dominica is witnessing a thriving cruise season, with hundreds and thousands of passengers exploring the shores of the island while disembarking at various tourist sites.International Airport
In order to boost tourism, the government has also heavily invested in constructing a world-class International Airport. Once completed, this airport is expected to bring a tremendous boost to the tourism sector in Dominica. As per the government, this new infrastructure will be capable of handling long-haul flights, bringing the nation several new opportunities. It will also raise the scope of the country's airlift capabilities and connectivity with the rest of the world. [caption id="attachment_61932" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]
Cable Car
In another development, the country is also working to build the world's longest Cable Car, which will travel 4.5 miles above some of the island's most beautiful views. It will take people from Roseau to the Boiling Lake, which is Dominica's major tourist attraction. The cable car project will give a safe and quick passage for the visitors to the boiling lake, which currently takes a 6 hours trek. [caption id="attachment_66166" align="aligncenter" width="681"]

The decision was taken recently after the government of Dominica witnessed that the country is one of the rare areas where whales can be seen throughout the year. Around 200 whales live near Dominica, which will be taken care of in this Sanctuary.Monika Walker is an experienced journalist specializing in global political developments and international relations.
