So, we anticipate that with this newfound freedom, Dominica will once again become an attractive destination for travelers within the CARICOM Travel Bubble,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Piper, this now gives travelers from islands which have proven in their own rights the ability to contain the spread of Covid, and so the incidents of importation would be lower, \u201ca compelling reason to visit Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meantime, President of the Dominica Hotel and Tourism Association (DHTA), Hans Schilders said Dominica is ready to receive guests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twenty-one hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfast, resorts are already certified to provide service to the public and visitors, by extension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur CARICOM brothers and sisters will find many of the properties that are COVID safe and certified, to offer them the same great rates that we offer to our local visitors in our staycation,\u201d Schilders said&#8230;\u201cSo you want to feel at home in Dominica and we welcome you in your home, in Dominica, the same favourable conditions that we offer to others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Director of Tourism and Deputy Coordinator for the reopening of borders, Colin Piper said Dominica will once again become an attractive destination for travelers within the CARICOM Travel Bubble.
