Dominica now sits at the 5th position in the race to being voted as the best Caribbean Island in the USA Today’s Readers Choice contest.

 

The island is among twenty Caribbean destinations chosen by experts and the winner will be named Best Caribbean.

 

Puerto Rico currently holds the number one position followed by Curacao, St Martin, and Grenada.

 

On the USA Today travel website, the following description of Dominica can be found:

 

“On mountainous Dominica, it’s what lies inland that makes the island special. Two-thirds of Dominica’s original rainforest remains, as well as one of the few surviving groups of Carib Indians. The island’s volcanic roots remain very evident, whether on a hike to one of the biggest boiling lakes on the planet or while exploring underwater volcanic vents.”

 

Members of the public are being urged to cast their vote for Dominica to claim the number one spot.

 

Voting is live until January 6 and the winner will be revealed on January 8.
