REASONS YOU SHOULD VISIT HAITI

The island country of Haiti used to be the hottest vacation destination in the Caribbean. Sadly, due to poverty and natural disasters tourism in Haiti has plummeted over the last decades, while still remaining strong in the Dominican Republic with whom Haiti shares an Island. Even though it no longer tops the list of vacation spots, Haiti still has a lot to offer and regularly welcomes tourists and cruise ships.

1. Visit Haiti for the History

Haiti was the first independent black republic in the world, winning their freedom from French colonists in 1804. This strong spirit is still visible across the island and the story of how Haiti moved from slavery to freedom is displayed in both the architecture and monuments built to commemorate freedom. For instance, the Sans-Souci Palace and the Citadelle Laferrière were some of the first buildings erected after Haiti gained independence and have miraculously survived the earthquakes and natural disasters of the past 200 years.

4. Visit Haiti for the Food

The food of Haiti will surprise and delight you with its flavors, freshness, and unique cultural influences. One night you can dine on traditional French cuisine and the next you can enjoy a regional dish consisting of fish, crab, okra, and local spices.

2. Visit Haiti for the Culture

The culture of Haiti is colorful and vibrant. No matter what disaster strikes the Haitian people, they seem to rebound with vibrance and spirit. The dances, music, and unique religious practices of the Haitian people are something you won’t experience anywhere else as they are a unique mixture of French, African, Spanish, and native Taino influences
