Port-Salut as a Tourist Destination

A famous personage, who was born, raised, and resides there is former Haiti President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Electrical service is not dependable in Port-Salut and the natives retire and arise, according to the sun's setting and rising.

Some of the activities visitors can enjoy in Port-Salut, besides relaxing on the beaches, are exploring the coastline by bike, which can be accomplished in a couple of hours; experiencing mountain waterfalls and the fresh-water pools they create; and spelunking through a maze of caves, where at any time you may emerge onto a scene of breath-taking beauty overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Port-au-Salut is a friendly and tranquil place, ensured by the UN Peacekeeping Mission that has occupied the island for well over a decade. The Haiti Minister of Tourism, Stephanie Ville-Drouin, has been working hard to develop tourist trade on the island, to draw more tourists to the barely-known jewels of Haiti, among them Port-Salut. If enough private investment can be secured for the village, it will benefit greatly from the tourist dollars spent there.
