1. Eco-Conscious Escapes

Sustainability remains at the forefront of travelers’ minds, with eco-conscious accommodations taking center stage. Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort is deeply committed to preserving Dominica’s natural beauty. From zero-waste in food production to reducing single-use plastics, the resort’s efforts align perfectly with the rising demand for green travel. Plus, Dominica’s lush rainforests, geothermal springs, and marine reserves provide endless opportunities for low-impact exploration.

2. Adventure Tourism with a Purpose

Travelers in 2025 are craving meaningful adventures, blending excitement with cultural and environmental awareness. Fort Young’s prime location in the heart of Dominica makes it the ideal launching pad for purposeful adventures. Guests can explore hidden waterfalls, trek the Waitukubuli National Trail, or partake in dive excursions to protect coral reefs.

3. Wellness Travel Redefined

Wellness is evolving beyond yoga retreats and spa days. In 2025, it’s about holistic experiences that rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul. Fort Young’s Zemi Spa treatments, paired with nourishing Caribbean cuisine, deliver wellness in spades.
