Dominica’s tourism sector generated approximately EC$405 million in revenue during the 2024-2025 period as the government pursues a target of developing it into a EC$1 billion industry, according to statements made by Tourism Minister Denise Charles Pemberton.
Tourism Revenue Growth and Government Targets
Tourism Minister Denise Charles Pemberton indicated that the revenue figures for 2024-2025 reflect the increasing significance of tourism to Dominica’s overall economy. The government has set a clear goal to expand the sector’s economic contribution to EC$1 billion, aiming to capitalize on this upward revenue trend.
Infrastructure Development Supporting Sector Expansion
The expansion of Dominica’s tourism sector is linked to ongoing infrastructure projects, notably the construction of the
country’s international airport. This project is expected to enhance air access and improve visitor arrivals, thereby supporting further revenue growth.
In addition to the airport, development of a marina is underway as a major investment aimed at strengthening the tourism industry and generating additional revenue streams. These infrastructure enhancements are intended to create broader economic activity and new opportunities across Dominica.
Economic Impact of Tourism Expansion
The Tourism Minister noted that tourism increasingly drives economic activity nationwide. The continuing investment in infrastructure such as the international airport and marina is positioned to propel Dominica toward the government’s EC$1 billion tourism industry target, boosting the sector’s
role in national economic growth.
