Dominica is to join with other members of the Caribbean Tourism Organization to celebrate Caribbean Tourism Month (CTM) in November.

This year the month is celebrated under the theme “One Sea, One Voice, One Caribbean.”

Activities organized in Dominica include a radio address by Minister for Tourism Ian Douglas, discussions on the ‘Talking Tourism’ radio program, radio quizzes on tourism and primary school presentations on tourism and the ‘I am Dominica’ campaign.

The following tourism stakeholders will be offering locals and visitors the opportunity to experience their services at special rates:

•    Crescent Moon Cabins
•    Hibiscus Valley Inn

    Well November is a much better time of year to observe Tourism month. I was always baffled at the reasoning behind May as tourism awareness in Dominica when the tourist season is actually closed.
