Experience tourism in Haiti like no other by taking notes on these prime
destinations.
A
vacation to Haiti could be the cost effective getaway to that exotic
destination that you’ve been daydreaming about. Widely considered by the world
to be an impoverished nation that’s on the brink of a major recovery, the
tourism industry in this small Dominican Republic has been revived in recent
years, as the country and outside donor nations have pumped hundreds of
millions of dollars into recreating the niche industry that this country once
boasted. According a press release that was issued on Newsismybusiness.com,
during the fiscal year of 2011, tourism in Haiti received more than 600,000
visitors, with about half being relatives of current citizens. At last
estimate, the country hosted more than 3,000 hotel rooms, yet only an estimated
800 met the standards of the international travel community.
If
a trip to this nation is on your agenda, know several things. One, you can make
your dollar really stretch far here, a lot further than in other neighboring
nations. Two, you may want to consider rental homes for vacations instead of
hotels, depending upon where you are staying. And three, you will assuredly
want to have a list of destinations in mind to better plan your trip. Under
these premises, make sure you don’t overlook the following signature
destinations, which can only be found in this delightfully unique Caribbean
nation.
Bay
of Acul: Head to the west coast of this nation and you will find the
popular Bay of Acul. It’s so beautiful that you will almost feel like you are
in a postcard moment or a picture jigsaw puzzle. Aside from the ornate
waterfalls and vine strewn and mossy vegetation, it’s also got some history.
Christopher Columbus rested here when he first landed on the shores, mistakenly
thinking that Haiti was actually Newfoundland.
Amiga
Island: By all means, at least plan a day trip to this illustrious island.
It features its own private stretch of gorgeously preserved beach and retains
all of the hallmarks of the crystal clear water that has inspired widespread
appeal and has become the sure staple of the Caribbean. Nearby coral reefs and
plenty of marine life await those who adventurously snorkel the coves and
waterways here.
Petionville:
This charming destination remains one of the most popular for tourists visiting
this nation. It is located in the capital and features vast marketplaces,
plenty of local attractions, seasonal festivals and nearby beaches. For that
matter, Port-au-Prince is the most modernized region in this nation, and has
reaped the benefits of the countless millions of dollars that have been pumped
into reviving this republic to attract more tourists.
Lake
Saumatre: This spectacular destination features two types of lakes that
both converge: freshwater to saltwater. According to Haittravels.org, it is
the “largest saltwater lake in the nation,” and features countless types of
marine life including crocodiles and flamingos. During the rainy season, the
lake overflows and adjoins with the nearby freshwater lake, lake Xaragua,
causing a vortex to be created between the two lakes, with one being fresh
water at one end and the other being salt water at the other end.
