The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island nation located along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago southeast of Guadeloupe and about 58 miles northwest of Martinique. The population is about 74,000 people. Dominica is the only island in the eastern Caribbean with about 3,000 Carib Indians descended from the pre-Columbian population. The government is a parliamentary democracy with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
Dominica was a colony of Great Britain from 1805 until achieving independence in 1978. For a few years after independence, the country suffered from a corrupt and authoritarian government. In 19890, however, that government was replaced by a party led by the first woman prime minister in the Caribbean. The country has few natural resources and has relied on banana exports as the main revenue source. However, Dominica is striving to expand its economic base. There have been some difficulties in expansion due to lack of adequate infrastructure, for example, a larger airport, and concerns about the impact on the environment of large numbers of visitors to the island.
Dominica has the potential for building the tourism sector. The island has few beaches, but there is potential for eco-tourism with mountainous and forested areas. Visitors can enjoy the Morne Trois Piton National Park, Boiling Lake, and Trafalgar Falls.

However, petty crime, such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, or other theft can occur in any crowded area or tourist destination. Always take precautions for your personal safety. Keep valuables secured and out of sight. Safeguard your important documents, such as your passport. Avoid walking alone in isolated areas, including beaches, particularly after dark.
