Travel + Leisure readers have once again voted Dominica as the Number 1 island Caribbean destination in its 2023 World’s Best Awards, which were announced today.
Dominica receives this recognition for the second year in a row, reinforcing the destination’s exceptional allure as a unique vacation experience and captivating tourism product.
“We are honoured that Dominica has one again been named the top destination in the region by such a well-respected travel brand and its readers,” said Denise Charles, Dominica’s Minister of Tourism. “This is a true testament to the one-of-a-kind experiences and natural beauty Dominica has to offer, as well as the warm hospitality of our hotels, tour operators, and people. We hope that this accolade will continue to put Dominica on the radar screens of travellers who are seeking an authentic Caribbean experience that is centred about nature.”
Over the past year, Dominica has seen impressive growth in tourism numbers as a result of recent interest in off-the-beaten-path destinations that focus on nature, sustainability and wellness, as well as the launch of the first direct flight from the US on American Airlines and additional access points throughout the Caribbean.
Since gaining attention in last year’s World’s Best Awards, Dominica has solidified its position on the global map as a must-visit destination.
With its lush landscapes, commitment to sustainability and eco-tourism, and a wide array of distinctive activities such as whale watching, canyoning, hiking and diving, Dominica is a haven for nature enthusiasts.
