Dominica Tourism Ministry signs contract for Kalinago Barana Aute revival

The centre of Dominica’s Kalinago territory, Kalinago Barana Aute, is about to change significantly. Recently, the Ministry of Tourism contracted with Alixon Laronde for XCD 275,668.30 to repair the roof of the administration building.

As her administration looks to revitalise the Territory after Hurricane Maria, Tourism Minister Denise Charles hailed the contract’s signing as a significant step in the Kalinago Tourism Development Project.

Since 2007, tourists have been able to experience the rich customs of the native Kalinago people of Dominica at the Kalinago Barana Aute, one of the Commonwealth of Dominica’s most popular tourist destinations.

According to others, the goal of this new project is to empower the Kalinago Territory as a Sustainable Tourism Destination by creating more jobs and possibilities and restoring the area.

Brenda Wills, Canada’s High Commissioner, recently visited the region on November 5 and took a tour of the Barana Autê plant. During the tour, she gained a deeper grasp of the Kalinago’s rich history, culture, and traditions.

This demonstrates the location’s enormous relevance to tourists who travel to Dominica for formal business.

In addition, the site hosts many events and activities, including cultural displays, art exhibitions, and much more. The Kalinago people’s cultural history is being honoured and celebrated, and their creativity is being used to empower them via all these activities.

The administrative building’s roof will be restored, adding to the area’s beauty and authenticity and drawing more tourists than usual.

After the work is finished, it can be used for a number of other significant events in Dominica. This will enable more people to attend the event, enjoy the rich culture of the Nature Isle, and take in the stunning setting in the centre of Dominica.
