PBS Video About a Tourist Economy in Haiti

Central America and the Carribbean depend on tourism revenue.  And with the possible exceptions of Haiti and Cuba, the larger share of the idyllic islands get it.

If Haiti is to find a pathway out from tragic poverty, tourism must be a part of that equation.

PBS put together a brilliant documentary that we’d urge you to view.  It touches on one dreamy-eyed entrepreneur who’s betting on an influx to the tourism economy.  He’s building a restaurant near “The Citadel,” a testament of Haiti’s once-great and promising future, and an under-appreciated world heritage site.
