Discover more about Discover Dominica Authority

The Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) plays a crucial role in the island's tourism sector, focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism. Dominica distinguishes itself from other Caribbean islands with its emphasis on nature-based attractions, such as rainforests, mountains, waterfalls, and diving spots. The DDA's main objectives include increasing the number of stay-over visitors and marketing Dominica as a premier adventure and responsible tourism destination. The Authority achieves this through various marketing strategies, partnership development, and product innovation. They provide comprehensive information to visitors, including tailored itineraries, accommodation options, and organized adventures. Dominica's tourism industry is still developing compared to other Caribbean islands, but it has seen significant growth in recent years. The island's rugged terrain and lack of white-sand beaches have historically limited large-scale tourism development. However, Dominica has successfully branded itself as the 'Nature Island,' attracting eco-tourists interested in landscapes and wildlife. The DDA is instrumental in promoting Dominica's unique attractions, such as the Boiling Lake, Emerald Pool, Trafalgar Falls, and Scotts Head.
