SPEARHEADING CULTURAL TOURISM ~ The World Kréyol Music Festival, Dominica’s flagship annual event, attracts thousands of Guadeloupeans. It will be held this year from October 28 to 30. The program has not been revealed but, «no matter who the headliners will be, the World Kréyol Music Festival is a great musical event not to be missed,» insists Gordon Henderson, cultural ambassador at the press conference. Beyond this essential event on the calendar, other musical and cultural events may also be of interest to Guadeloupe which shares Creole culture and many musical influences with its neighboring island. With Jazz’N Créole in May, the brand new «Cadence-Lypso Tribute Festival» in July, the Carnival in February or the discovery of Kalinago culture, tourists can enjoy artistic discoveries all year round.

NICHES TO EXPLORE ~Dominica is called «the nature island» because of its rich and lush vegetation and its sustainable approach to tourism. It has the second largest bubbling lake in the world and has more than 365 rivers! Kimberly King evoked these niche experiences that are strong assets today in terms of development. Hiking enthusiasts and adventurers in the forest can rub shoulders with the longest trail in the Caribbean, the Waitukubuli. Sea lovers can observe whales and other marine mammals, or indulge in exceptional scuba diving. The future and unprecedented «Waitukubuli Sea Trail» will allow kayakers to navigate from the North to the South of the island. Finally, with its natural hot spas, its massages and yoga sessions, Dominica relies on well-being to attract visitors in search of relaxation and reconnection. First in the Travel+ Leisure ranking of the 25 best islands in the Caribbean, Dominica is ready to show all its treasures!
