The world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic; several economies got busted, numerous people lost their lives, and tourism stopped for an indefinite period. Getting back to normalcy seems like an illusion; all countries with tourism-based economies attempt to make their best shots to revive the sector.
In similar events, a small Caribbean island Dominica's Tourism Minister Denise Charles also endeavoured to get the economy back on the tracks. Minister Charles launched a "Work in Nature Extended Visa Programme", which allows tourists to relocate to Dominica and work remotely from Nature Island for up to 18 months.
The idea behind launching the "WIN Programme" is to invite people who are currently working from home in their countries to temporary to relocate to Dominica and live on the nature island.
Tourism Minister Denise Charles states that the WIN Programme would not only boost the tourism of Dominica, but it will also give a one of a kind experience to people who have been feeling congested and confined to small spaces due to lockdowns in their home countries.
As Dominica is known as the "Nature Island of the Caribbean", people under the WIN programme can experience waterfalls, beaches, lush-mountain trails, boiling lake, freshwater lake and the never lasting 365 rivers.
