Dominica's eco-tourism boom is financially supported and maintained by the island's successful Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme. The initiative enables investors to either make a one-time contribution to a government-held fund or buy into shares of selected real estate, such as Cabrits Resort Kempinski or another six options, in exchange for Dominican citizenship.
After passing all due diligence checks, successful applicants gain access to visa-free and visa-on-arrival travel to approximately 140 destinations, increased business opportunities and the possibility to pass down their citizenship to future generations.
Revenue generated from the Economic Diversification Fund is then directed into several areas of Dominican society including healthcare, education, climate resilience, tourism, infrastructure and more.
For the last two years, Dominica has been ranked as offering the world's best economic citizenship by the Financial Times' Professional Wealth Management magazine, particularly for its efficiency, affordability and high due diligence standards.
