Tourism Technical Study Mission to Brazil
The Government of Haiti (GoH) is promoting tourism as an economic activity that can contribute to the economic recovery of the country after the earthquake of last January 12th, 2010 (Action Plan for National Recovery and Development of Haiti, March 2010). The Action Plan sees tourism as a key sector, together with agriculture, textiles and housing, in a diversified set of investments intended to invigorate three development centers, among them, the North (axis from Cap Haitien to Ouanaminthe). The Bank envisages tourism as an important sector integral to the development of the northern pole. Given the existence of strong fundamentals for the tourism sector to flourish in the North, (historic sites, beaches, easy access for international tourists), working with local enterprises to develop and implement a concerted tourism strategy approach to validate a more concerted approach to tourism is crucial. Consequently, in order to support the GOH in this endeavor, a Study Tour to Brazil, one of the countries that have ample and good experience with similar projects, is planned.
