Discover Dominica with iTunes

Travellers wishing to experience the Caribbean island of Dominica before they visit, or for those wanting to savour the memories of their trip, island vodcasts are now available to download on iTunes.

The series of mini-documentary videos were specially commissioned by the Dominica Tourism Authority.

The videos focus on highlighted aspects of the island including:

• Responsible Tourism – Information on how Dominica preserves its unique character and how tourism contributes to local communities

• Carib Culture – An insight into the Caribbean’s last indigenous Carib Indian population which resides in Dominica

• Hiking – An overview of the island’s trail network including details of the Waitukubuli National Trail which is due to open in 2011

• Creole cookery – Preparing a traditional Dominican dish using local ingredients

Other videos available provide an overview of the island’s history, activities plus cultural highlights such as local music.

This is just the latest way the Discover Dominica Authority is using social media platforms to promote the island: travellers can find out further information and ask questions on the Dominica Facebook fan page and through the island’s Twitter stream.

Travellers are also encouraged to upload their own Dominica videos onto the dedicated Discover Dominica You Tube channel and share with fellow travellers.
