For this week’s featured video, we are highlighting the upcoming Discover Dominica’s “Work in Nature” programme, a virtual session we are co-hosting with the Discover Dominica Authority via Facebook Live next week.
Dominica’s management of the pandemic has been exemplary and, while they stick to common sense rules of mask-wearing and social distancing, their lifestyle retains the essential element of free-up and fun that makes this part of the world an enjoyable place to be.
The Work In Nature (WIN) Extended Stay Visa allows you to relocate to Dominica and work remotely for up to 18 months. This is a great example of how this island community is exploring new options to find alternatives to “traditional tourism”.
Watch the video to find out more and don’t miss next week’s event!
