Two More Green Accolades for Dominica
Jungle Bay Resort & Spa has been shortlisted in the Poverty Reduction category at the Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards 2008.
The nature resort, in the southeast of Dominica, employs most of its staff from local villages and provides financial backing to many projects in the area. It also operates the Southeast Entrepreneur Loan Fund (SELF) which allows up to 15 local entrepreneurs to borrow up to EC$12,000 (approx: ) for business activities such as organic produce, local arts and crafts production and guiding of cultural tours and hikes that can contribute to the Jungle Bay services.
Dominica, itself, proved its position as a world leader in sustainable tourism by receiving a nomination at the World Travel Awards Green Awards in the Best Green Destination category (October 2008). Dominica was the only country besides Costa Rica, the eventual winner, to be selected for nomination.
