Project Description:

Exotica, founded by 1998 Goldman Prize Recipient Atherton Martin, is situated four hundred meters up the western slopes of the Morne Trois Piton National Park, outside of Dominica’s first World Heritage Site. The center has sustainable water, waste and energy management systems and takes special care to involve local community members in activities that encourage sustainable agriculture and cultural traditions that center around conservation.

's Story:
I believe that celebrating the natural beauty and culture of a place is the foundation of responsible geotourism and Exotica Cottage Resort embodies this ethic.
