@illus4u It is my hope and reach that with a new president taking over in May 14, 2011 the whole country will join together and work toward rebuilding Haiti.
Yes, you are correct, tourism is extremely important for Haiti. Haiti used to be #1 destination for tourists back in the late 70's and early 80's. Now is Jamaica, DR and Puerto Rico.
But if all Haitians unite and work together truly, Haiti can be a miracle country like Brazil, China and Chile.
I will hope for that.

@md991free i like your comments, but how is the whole thing. we are not United, to reboot the economy we need dedication but everybody thinking about themselves. I believe for the Capital what attract people in, is what will get them out but outside of the capital as of increase the touristic activities in the country sides to increase the economy.
@gimarworld 200 years ago when Haiti was 75% of France wealth and one of the richest country in the world we produced everything we consumed and export far exceeded import. Now, we export almost nothing (Rum Barbancourt is Haiti most famous export)
We need to find a solution. China could be an example, 30 years ago they started a transformation that has made them the second biggest economy in the world, a powerful army and a middle class the size of the US population.

The original Arabs that came to Haiti around 1880 came without a dim in their pockets and over two, three generation came to be very wealthy.
Through sheer hard work, determination and skills they did work or work in places where the local elite refused to do.
Now, the descendants of that group control the economy of Haiti, along with the traditional mulatto elite. Starting in the 70's these two group have mixed via marriage.
The black elite are mostly politicians in Haiti.
