It is with a heavy heart that we, at the Ministry of Tourism and the Discover Dominica
Authority, extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Daniel Langlois and
Dominique Marchand, on their tragic passing. Their loss leaves an irreplaceable void not only in
our lives but also in the heart of Dominica and the global sustainable tourism community.
Daniel and Dominique were more than just pioneers; they were visionaries who dared to dream
of a balance between luxury and sustainability. Their passion and commitment to this cause
transformed Coulibri Ridge into a beacon of green tourism, earning them global recognition and
a host of accolades. Their legacy has set a benchmark for others to aspire to.
Their enthusiastic participation in trade and consumer shows with the Discover Dominica
Authority (DDA) brought Dominica’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty to the forefront of
the global stage. Their unwavering support for DDA and active involvement in various
promotional events have been instrumental in shaping Dominica’s tourism landscape.
The Government of Dominica takes every incident involving its citizens, residents, and visitors
to the island very seriously. It appears that this was an isolated incident, the local authorities are
actively investigating, and suspected individuals have been apprehended and are currently in
custody. Despite this occurrence, Dominica remains a safe place to live, work, and visit.
As we grapple with the pain of their loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary lives they led and
the indelible mark they left behind. Their memory will be a guiding light as we continue our
journey towards promoting sustainable tourism in Dominica. The footprint of their absence will
etch deeply in our hearts, while their spirit, like a gentle whisper in the wind, will continue to
resonate within us forever and always.
May their souls find the path to eternal peace, a haven of quietude, and everlasting serenity.
