Haiti needs its fair share of the Caribbean tourist industry

What the h.. is going on?

The tourism industry is the most important thing the Caribbean counties have going for them. When you look at whether Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Martinique, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Kitts-and-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent-and-the-Grenadines, Trinidad-and- Tobago, Turks-and-Caicos Islands or United States Virgin Islands. They all have one thing in common: These Caribbean islands are focusing on the tourist industry.

Haiti is the only Caribbean country not having its priority straight.

Instead of developing strategies to take a share of the Caribbean tourist industry, for the past 25 years, the county has been fighting within itself. With the election of Michel Martelly, I am hoping that we will be able to do the followings: a) once and for all learn about our mistakes of the past twenty five years. b) work on our egos which have been keeping us from seeing the entire picture.

It is time !
