Sam Raphael<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Proprietor of Jungle Bay Resort, Sam Raphael has called on Dominicans to focus on ways to conserve the environment.<\/p>\n

He was delivering remarks at the first-ever Dominica Economic Revival Summit Awards Dinner held at Jungle Bay Resort on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by the United Workers Party (UWP) in partnership with the Electoral Reform Coalition (ERC) and will run from Tuesday, June 4 to Thursday, June 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us not destroy the natural environment of Dominica,\u201d Raphael advised. \u201cLet us do proper planning, let\u2019s focus and whatever we do let\u2019s plan and conserve the island, because that is all we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

From his perspective,\u00a0if the natural beauty of Dominica is gone, \u201cnobody will come to this island and we can forget about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Raphael pointed out that tourism produces more than a quarter of a billion dollars annually in foreign exchange for Dominica.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can easily top that at least five times if we play our cards right\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

One of the foremost endeavors ought to be going to various communities to mark out the natural attractions of the island, according to Raphael.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if we were to go around Dominica on a community level and mark that out and begin to build our industry around that I believe the future will be bright, it will be sustainable and everyone would benefit,\u201d Raphael noted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he broached the topic of community, citing the importance of understanding that Dominicans need to talk to<\/em> each other more and about<\/em> each other less.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we need to come together to engage and discuss things,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Raphael believes that\u2019s the only way \u201cwe can grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe need to start exchanging and sharing ideas and that\u2019s how we will learn to understand and love each other more.\u201d<\/p>\n
