In its latest publication in its weekly magazine and on its website, the company said a holiday in the Caribbean could either mean sipping rum punch on a beach or exploring the tropical setting on an active trip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps clients will even feel inspired by the plethora of sporting events coming to the region, which include the second Central American and Caribbean Beach Games contest next year,&#8221; it said. &#8220;So which islands should you focus on for clients keen to get their hearts pumping?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It picked Dominica, along with St Lucia and Jamaica, as the best spots which it said would suit any budget.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the least-populated nations in the world, Dominica\u2019s primordial landscapes remain unspoiled, with nine active volcanoes, dramatic black-sand beaches, and a year-round pod of sperm whales,&#8221; Travel Weekly said in describing the island. &#8220;The island\u2019s rainforests are criss-crossed with paths, including the 115-mile Waitukubuli National Trail, the Caribbean\u2019s only long-distance walking trail. Connecting historic trails created by runaway slaves and the indigenous Kalinago population, it\u2019s conveniently split into 14 sections, so trekkers can pick and choose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also pointed to sea activities which can get the hearts of travelers pumping.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Snorkellers and divers can explore spots such as Champagne Reef, where bubbles rise through volcanic vents. The Waitukubuli Sea Trail, which was launched in 2023, also comprises a 40-mile sea-kayaking route that offers views of Dominica\u2019s dramatic coastline with stops at seaside villages,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>Travel Weekly was first published in 1969 and is a market-leading brand in the industry. Its flagship print magazine is published weekly and reaches more than 45,000 readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominica has been named the best island for active travelers by the British travel company, Travel Weekly.
