Dominica was the fastest growing economy in the entire Latin America and the Caribbean region

Photo: Simon Dannhauer A new report by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) from the United Nations indicates that the Commonwealth of Dominica was the fastest growing economy in the entire Latin America and the Caribbean region in 2019. The island's GDP is said to have jumped up by 9%, attributed to Citizenship by Investment (CBI), soaring tourism numbers and public sector construction. Foreign investors sought to obtain second citizenship from Dominica through the CBI Programme, choosing to either make a minimum US$100,000 contribution to a government fund or invest in pre-approved real estate, such as luxury resorts and boutique hotels. Some reasons driving investors' trust are linked to them seeking to belong to a stable democracy with great diplomatic relations, a trustworthy business environment and a promising economic future.

Tourism: Japan increasingly attracted to Caribbean offers

Photo: Shao-Chung Wang/123RF By Frank Martin TTC Service.-Japan's interest in the Caribbean islands is growing over the years and tourism is undoubtedly among the economic sectors favored by this inclination. The policies in this regard of the Japanese government, and especially its Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, currently drives the interest of the average Japanese to spend vacations in the far region. Abe developed an 11-day tour of five Latin American and Caribbean countries in the summer of 2014. A fundamental step at that time was a first summit between Japan and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). "Japan is committed to" more proactively "promoting" peace, stability and prosperity in the region, the prime minister said. He also carried several good proposals in his suitcase for the Caribbean states and their crucial industry: the tourism. A fundamental one was the announcement by Abe of a $15 million fund granted to eight Caribbean [...]

Mexico has named its most ‘magical’ villages

Photo: Simon Dannhauer Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism announced in 2001 it was developing a program to highlight the most beautiful and culturally-rich towns in the country. With more to offer than just beach resorts, ports of call and salt-rimmed margaritas, Mexico focused on the small towns and villages that best represent regional traditions, history, festivals and food. The chosen few would be named Mexico’s “Pueblos Magicos,” or magic villages. Today, there are 121 such villages, some of which will ring a bell — like Tulum and Tequila — while others likely won’t.
