Dominica as the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean” is the northernmost of the Windward Islands and especially suitable as a migration destination for nature lovers and divers. There are not a lot of beaches, but hot springs, the rainforests with a lot of rare animals and plants, waterfalls, lakes, mountains as well as 365 rivers turn it into an interesting and beautiful destination. There is even the world’s second largest hot spring (Boiling Lake). One of the tropical forests there (Morne Trois Pitons National Park) is an UNESCO World Heritage site. Scuba divers especially like the volcanic nature and coral reefs of Dominica. And it is a great place for whale-watching, too.
Parts of the Pirates of the Caribbean films were filmed in Dominica.
The island’s area is 750 km2 and there are 74.133 (January 2018) people living in Dominica. The capital Roseau as well as Portsmouth are the most inhabited areas. Dominica is located in the middle between Martinique and the French islands of Guadeloupe and can be reached via two regional airports. The island republic gained independence in 1978.
Dominica’s name has its origin in the Latin word for “Sunday” because it is said that Columbus has passed Dominica on a Sunday.
Agriculture and tourism are the main economic sectors. In 2003/2004, Dominica almost had a financial crisis, but afterwards its economy grew and the government was praised by the International Monetary Fund for its macroeconomic reforms.
The Caribbean Basin Initiative grants duty-free entry into the US for many goods. And Dominica is supposed to offer tax-freedom to companies that locate from other countries. The Commonwealth of Dominica is developing into a major international financial centre.
The official language is English, but the French also had their impact on the country and so also Dominican Creole French and Antillean Creole are widely spoken. Beside of these, there are a few other dialects.
Most of the people living on the island are of African descent, but it is getting a more and more mixed population. The remaining Caribs (a native tribe) live on the east coast on their own 15 km2 territory with their own chief.
Dominica belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations and it’s a parliamentary democracy.
There is a state college on the island and the Ross University medical school as well as the All Saints University School of Medicine. Some students study at universities in Cuba with scholarships from the government.
