Description

The island of Dominica attracts around 300,000 to 400,000 tourists a year with its vast vegetative landscape and deep, rich culture (Tourism Analytics 2020). As tourism is an important and driving factor in Dominica’s economy, –accounting for about 10.5 percent of total employment and 12.2 percent of GDP in 2019 (Mu et. al 2023)–this project investigates the consequences tourism has on the framing of Dominica by using grounded theory and behavioral coding.
