The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island nation located along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago southeast of Guadeloupe and about 58 miles northwest of Martinique. The population is about 74,000 people. Dominica is the only island in the eastern Caribbean with about 3,000 Carib Indians descended from the pre-Columbian population. The government is a parliamentary democracy with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
Dominica was a colony of Great Britain from 1805 until achieving independence in 1978. For a few years after independence, the country suffered from a corrupt and authoritarian government. In 19890, however, that government was replaced by a party led by the first woman prime minister in the Caribbean. The country has few natural resources and has relied on banana exports as the main revenue source. However, Dominica is striving to expand its economic base. There have been some difficulties in expansion due to lack of adequate infrastructure, for example, a larger airport, and concerns about the impact on the environment of large numbers of visitors to the island.
Dominica has the potential for building the tourism sector. The island has few beaches, but there is potential for eco-tourism with mountainous and forested areas. Visitors can enjoy the Morne Trois Piton National Park, Boiling Lake, and Trafalgar Falls.
Dominica的建議疫苗接種
對於大多數旅行者
乙肝疫苗
There is a significant risk of infection with hepatitis B for this country, therefore, the vaccination is recommended.

對於一些旅行者
傷寒疫苗
There is some debate regarding the risk of exposure to typhoid fever in this country through consumption of unsafe food and water. Some authoritative sources (the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommend vaccination since exposure to unsafe sources is variable within this country, especially when visiting smaller cities or rural areas, where food and water sources may be contaminated. Other sources (the UK National Travel Health Network and Centre) do not recommend vaccination.
狂犬病疫苗
Vaccination is recommended for those travellers whose activities may bring them into contact with bats (i.e. veterinarians, wildlife professionals, researchers).
黃熱病疫苗
This country requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate for travellers over 1 year of age arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission and for travellers having transited more than 12 hours through an airport of a country with risk of yellow fever transmission.

Dominica中的安全性
人身安全
多明尼克是美國國務院發布的一級旅遊警告，也是加勒比海地區最安全的旅遊目的地之一。與週邊鄰國相比，多明尼克的犯罪率較低，2024年記錄了10起兇殺案，低於2023年的14起。您可能遇到的大多數犯罪都涉及扒竊和搶包等小偷小摸行為，尤其是在每年的節日期間，例如十月的世界克里奧爾音樂節以及二月和三月的狂歡節。天黑後獨自遠離主幹道行走會增加風險，因此請盡量選擇人口稠密、光線充足的區域。旅遊景點附近確實會發生搶劫和暴力攻擊事件，但相對較少。警方報告顯示，針對遊客的嚴重犯罪並不常見。在偏遠的健行步道和海灘，偶爾會發生車輛被盜事件。西內庫村附近的L’escalier Tete Chien步道曾發生搶劫案，因此建議您放棄這條步道或參加旅行團。與毒品相關的犯罪一直在增加，但大多數案件源於家庭糾紛而非組織犯罪。羅索和其他主要地區都有警察駐守。白天遊覽島嶼通常比較安全。
極端暴力
在多明尼克，針對遊客的暴力犯罪仍然極為罕見。兇殺率一直在下降，2024 年記錄了 10 起兇殺案，而 2023 年為 14 起，2020 年為每 10 萬人 20.83 起。大多數兇殺案源於社會衝突和家庭狀況，而非隨機暴力或組織犯罪。只有 10.7% 的兇殺案與有組織犯罪活動有關。雖然有與幫派有關的暴力案件被報導，但通常發生在家庭內部，並非針對遊客。該國是可卡因和大麻運往其他加勒比海島嶼、北美和歐洲的中轉站，這助長了一些與毒品有關的事件。槍支從委內瑞拉進入多明尼克，通常與可卡因一起運抵，與一些加勒比海島嶼相比，這裡的槍支暴力發生率相對較高。據信軍火販運規模龐大，有些槍枝也是從美國走私的。 2022年，全國共發生七起飯店謀殺案，其中薩馬納等熱門地區均未發生一起。旅遊中心的人均兇殺率低於島上其他地區。多明尼加是東加勒比地區最貧窮的國家之一，但組織犯罪對經濟部門的控制並不顯著。
政治動盪
多明尼加時有政治示威活動，尤其圍繞選舉議題。 2019 年 11 月，針對選舉改革的抗議活動導致 200 多名示威者與警察在總統官邸外發生衝突，警方使用催淚瓦斯驅散人群。沒有人員死亡或重傷的報告。 2025 年 3 月，因有爭議的選舉改革法案爆發大規模抗議活動，反對派團體試圖衝擊議會。防暴警察使用催淚瓦斯和橡皮子彈回擊。這些示威活動蔓延到索爾茲伯里等社區，那裡的道路被封鎖，身穿防暴裝備的警察在街上巡邏。警方多次使用催淚瓦斯驅散抗議者。 2020 年，圍繞暫停市政選舉的抗議活動吸引了數千人前往聖多明哥的班德拉廣場，儘管那是在多明尼加共和國，而不是多明尼加。具體來說，在多明尼加，2019 年的抗議活動中，反對黨採取了威脅、恐嚇和封鎖道路等行動，抗議者甚至向警察投擲石塊。三名警察受傷，但無人死亡。如果您在訪問期間遇到示威活動，請完全避免受影響區域並遵守當地政府的指示。即使是和平示威也可能升級並導致交通中斷。
應避免的區域
多明尼克沒有明確規定遊客必須避開的危險街區。首都羅索整體安全，但入夜後西橋和河街一帶需格外警惕。羅索部分地區由於街道極度狹窄，可能會讓人感到擁擠和幽閉。北部的卡利比斯耶過去曾發生過一些孤立的犯罪事件，包括別墅搶劫案。該地區的別墅受財產犯罪的影響比其他地區更大，因此請確保您的住宿地點有適當的安全措施和保險。斯科特角和梅羅海灘等偏遠海灘需要採取標準預防措施，尤其是在偏僻的地方。島上偏僻的健行步道偶爾會發生車輛入室竊盜事件，因此請避免將貴重物品留在停放的車輛中。西內庫村附近的L’escalier Tete Chien步道曾發生過搶劫和汽車入室盜竊未遂事件，因此需要格外小心。一些遊客建議完全放棄這條健行路線。天黑後，島上偏僻地區的危險性更高。多明尼加羅索以外的大部分地區在白天被認為是安全的，島上人口較少，社區聯繫緊密，這有助於整體安全。莫納奧迪亞布勒斯火山正在崩塌，如果完全崩塌，可能引發大型海嘯，但具體時間尚無法預測。大多數活火山位於羅索附近的南端。
