National Geographic recently published a "Best of the world destinations on the rise for 2021" list, including the small Caribbean island of Dominica.
The list is created by the National Geographic Travel and is categorized into five different sections (Adventure, Culture and History, Nature, Family, Sustainability)The Caribbean island of Dominica has secured its place in the category of "Dream of Ultimate Adventures."
Dominica has lush mountains, beautiful rainforests, a boiling lake, and several other natural attractions that seek the interest of tourists who care looking for a pinch of adventure in "nature".
Boost to tourism Feature in the Nat Geo Best of 2021 list would support the tourism goals that the island country has been endeavoring to accomplish after the closedown prompted by the global pandemic. There are over 365 rivers, the second biggest boiling lake, black sand beaches. International recognition to the Dominican Culture and Heritage The Caribbean island of Dominica has one of the most beautiful cultures in the region. It is a colorful and festive Creole society, which is apparent in the island's communication, food, art, and music. A recognition to the Kalinago Dominica is home to the largest indigenous population in the East Caribbean, known as the "Kalinago Community". As a result of excessive tourism to this small country, people across the world could be more aware of the indigenous tribe which exists in the most impoverished districts of the country. The heritage of the Kalinago people is still different from modern cultures, and people are still coming forward to adapt to the newest standards of living.Kalinago-Caribs cultivate their land collectively and also sometimes make handicrafts for the tourist market.
Recognition to local music Dominica hosts the world's biggest "Creole Music Festival" each year in October. The Dominican music itself is beautiful, and some residents have gained international recognition in genres like calypso, reggae, soca, zouk, and rock and roll. Still, a large part of the Dominican culture, music, and heritage is unknown to the international community. Despite being relatively smaller than other islands, Dominica is creating an example for others by being on the path of climate-resilient housing, lowering carbon footprints, solid waste management, and standing up regardless of facing major hurricanes Maria and Tropical Storm Erika.Latest
