The Government of the Dominica is presently rolling out about 1.6 million dollars for rehabilitation works on the V.I.P lounge at the airport.
Tourism minister, Hon. Denise Charles says, “We have made tremendous investments in the hotel sector in Dominica, and you would have seen that we now have 5-star resorts on island like the Kempinski, Jungle Bay and Secret Bay. Consequently, we are attracting a new niche of visitors to Dominica who would require luxurious service, and that has been a focus of the ministry to provide service to that niche market”.
According to her, an agent will be made available to facilitate the immigration process while the individual waits in the lounge.
The Minister said, “One of the features in this building I’m really excited about is the planter area where we are going to have a lot of plants representing the beauty of Dominica”.
According to the her, this project is a part of her ministry’s push to welcome 200,000 people annually to Dominica.
The project which is expected to be completed in April will allow for health officials to administer COVID-19 protocols.

When I enquired about using the VIP Lounge, sometime ago, I was told it was for the use of Government officials only….Have the rules changed?
