Happy Independence to the Nature Isle of the Caribbean — Dominica!

Today marks 47 years of Independence for this stunning island, known for its rich blend of Kalinago, African, and European cultures and its vibrant Kweyol language — a melodic mix of French and West African languages.

Often called the eco-tourism capital of the Caribbean, Dominica is a dream for adventure seekers with waterfalls, hot springs, volcanoes and more however, it also offers plenty of soft life luxury, as seen in this IHG campaign we were proud to be part of; what feels like many moons ago.

We can’t wait to return; Dominica — what shall we create together next?
