Tourism & Wellness Boost: Dominica’s Tourism Awareness Month 2026 was launched by the Discover Dominica Authority and the Ministry of Tourism, highlighting wellness tourism and major upgrades as visitor arrivals rose (15% in 2025; stayover up ~10% to March 31, 2026; cruise up 21%), with international media and influencer coverage helping drive momentum. Senior-Friendly Design Push: The Dominica Council on Aging is urging developers to consult seniors before building, warning against inaccessible multi-storey designs with lots of steps and poor railings that make daily life harder for older residents. Social Protection Tech Upgrade: The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Social Services received UN World Food Programme equipment (computers, tablets, and a laptop) to strengthen the Social Welfare Information Management System and improve support for vulnerable families, plus more devices for village councils. Community Safety Cleanup: Police and partners removed derelict vehicles from Coco Bottom and Goodwill, citing mosquito/rodent risks, fire hazards, blocked pathways, and environmental pollution—owners are being urged to remove abandoned vehicles promptly. Regional Medicines Access: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will convene a workshop in Saint Lucia to improve access to safe, effective medicines and health technologies across Eastern Caribbean states.
