New York, New York - The New York based travel magazine , Travel + Leisure, has listed two Caribbean islands in its 2023 World’s Best Awards announced earlier this week.
Dominica received this recognition for the second year in a row, reinforcing the destination’s allure as a unique vacation experience and captivating tourism product.
“We are honored that Dominica has once 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 travelers who are seeking an authentic Caribbean experience that is centred about nature.”
In a statement, the ministry said that over the past year, Dominica has seen an 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.
Meanwhile, the British overseas territory of Anguilla was listed as a secluded getaway with 33 beaches.
Two resorts, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla and Frangipani Beach Resort were both ranked as two of the best resorts in the region.
