Haiti's Tourism Sector Though Yele Foundation and Government Initiatives

Two programs, HEAT project which was pioneered by Yele Foundation and the other project under Ministry of Tourism, have been running in collaboration to create an overall positive impact on Haiti's tourism industry through Hospitality, Hotel and institution management. The Hospitality Education and Training project was initiated to offer highly professional training to students in various Hospitality training institutions in Haiti.

The famous Hospitality Valuation Services Company (HVS) also features significantly in these projects and has created a platform through which students can gain practical experience in serving world class hotels and to get a better understanding of High Level Services to customers. The project has attracted international instructors to work in collaboration with Hospitality lecturers in designing an up-to-date curriculum in Hospitality, Tourism and Institution management.
