DDA launches Staycation 2018

Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) is pleased to invite all Dominicans to experience and indulge in Staycation 2018 – the ReDiscover Dominica edition. Staycation summer deals and packages will run from July 23rd to September 30th 2018.

All are urged to rediscover Dominica and experience our Nature Island in rejuvenated splendour and enjoy a staycation with a difference at one of the island’s longstanding participating hotels or opt for one of the beautifully furnished, modern, self-contained apartments in the north in Picard, Portsmouth.

Offers range from 5% up to 40% discount at hotels and apartments to make your experience enjoyable and affordable during the summer season.

Patrons are encouraged to participate in exhilarating tours, rejuvenate their minds and bodies at one of the hot springs, experience whale watching in the south or north, horseback riding through the rainforest and on Purple Turtle Beach, canyoning, scuba diving, hiking, visit the Kalinago Territory, waterfall expeditions, bird watching at Syndicate, Indian River Safari, beach limes or one may simply participate in a Voluntourism activity.

In addition, all are also being invited to take advantage of the opened restaurants, cafes, bars, and hang out spots island-wide, an exciting opportunity to entice your taste buds and enjoy the island’s local delicacies and scrumptious meals.

Tourism Director, Colin Piper says Staycation 2018, offers that unique opportunity for nationals and returning nationals alike to experience the island’s varied tourism product.

The service providers are again ready to offer their great service, warmth and hospitality to an eagerly anticipating local clientele wanting to take advantage of the special summer vacation excursion dubbed ‘Staycation.’

    That is a lame duck Colin. When Roosevelt Skerrit sets the example and spends his money here I may consider doing the same. The guy is always out of the country, even when on vacation. Suppose Dominica is not good enough for him?

    @Neville, this is a very good opportunity for the country. Why should locals be encouraged to travel and build up another economy when Dominica in general is trying to rise again. I actually commend them for doing this, hopefully more people would grasp the concept and look at the bigger picture. We are working so hard to rebuild Dominica, so why not enjoy and make an investment/contribution to what we have been rebuilding. My two cents.

    Oh Piper, is that the best you can come up with? Is that what the taxpayers are paying you for? You need to be put on notice with immediate effect together with Tonge. Dominica can’t afford the pair of you any longer.

      Staycations are not a new idea, they are ways of keeping hotels afloat during low seasons – and common everywhere. Without initiatives like this, staff may have to be laid off. It is therefore a good strategy and should be supported.
