Haiti wants to attract residents in the Dominican Republic to visit their neighboring country. Last week, Tourism Minister Stephanie Balmier Villedrouin inaugurated a Tourism Promotion Office at Plaza Bella Vista Center on Av. Romulo Betancourt 1306 in Santo Domingo.
She said that there are 8,500 hotel rooms in Haiti and that around a million tourists arrive every year, of whom 600,000 come on cruise ships.
She highlighted that the Dominican Republic was an important market for Haiti because of the two countries’ proximity.
