Associates Times reports about the world’s longest cable car ( surpassing ‘Ba Na Big’ with 5.8 km in length) set to be built in The Commonwealth of Dominica. The cable car project will provide a safe and quick passage to the Boiling Lake, which would otherwise take 6 hours to get to.

The project can be expected to be built in 2 years time. The Minister for Tourism, International Transport, and Maritime Initiates, Denise Charles believes that with the new project, Dominica will be placed at the top position in the region in terms of tourism.

Surveys revealed that every place in the world had witnessed at least a threefold increase in tourism after the installation of cable cars. In some regions, many cable car rides are fully booked and have a waiting period of 2 to 3 weeks.

The cable car will also be proven to be an environmentally friendly way to commute people to the Boiling Lake while giving scenic views of nature. The project would cost around $275 million dollars.
