About Dominica

Dominica is an island famous for its natural beauty and is renowned as the nature island of the Caribbean due to its diversity of natural beauty and stunning landscapes that range from mountains, waterfalls, hot springs, 365 rivers, and awe-inspiring beaches of both pristine white and rare black sand.

This natural bounty that Dominica is blessed with also provides the island with a strong, stable, and sustainable economy. The country is the most significant agricultural supplier of the organic fruits and vegetables in the Eastern Caribbean, and due to its volcanic and geothermal activity, is a literal hotbed for a fast-growing green energy industry.

Another industry that is fast growing in Dominica is financial services, with offshore banking and service providing companies that, along with its strong economy, make it an ideal destination for investors.
