Haiti, whose population is almost entirely descended from African slaves, won independence from France in 1804, making it the second country in the Americas, after the United States, to free itself from colonial rule. Over the centuries, however, economic, political, and social difficulties, as well as a number of natural disasters, have beset Haiti with chronic poverty and other serious problems.Haiti is bordered to the east by the Dominican Republic, which covers the rest of Hispaniola, to the south and west by the Caribbean, and to the north by the Atlantic Ocean. Cuba lies some 50 miles (80 km) west of Haiti’s northern peninsula, across the Windward Passage, a strait connecting the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Jamaica is some 120 miles (190 km) west of the southern peninsula, across the Jamaica Channel, and Great Inagua Island (of The Bahamas) lies roughly 70 miles (110 km) to the north. Haiti claims sovereignty over Navassa (Navase) Island, an uninhabited U.S.-administered islet about 35 miles (55 km) to the west in the Jamaica Channel.

Haiti Beaches are starting to wake up to the world. It is about time that this country with such hard working people starts to reap the fruits of such beautiful country with so amazing beaches.
Labadee Haiti. Years ago Royal Caribbean International discovered a little peninsula on the north coast called Labadee, leased it for a long term period and started to bring its cruises for a day stop at this paradise.

The boats are docked offshore and the passengers are tendered to the coast where they find a fine resort that includes Water Sports, a water park, an Haitian market and some dance performances by local artists.
I know that nowadays the Government is doing great efforts to improve Haiti Tourism and bring tourists back; and are investing big amounts of money on that venture with the help of the United States, Mexico and other important Latin American Countries.
