HAITI could receive its first cruise ship in over
half a century, following the announcement of
an initiative to bring Cruise with a Cause,
which combines tourism and volunteer work,
to Port-au-Prince port.
Cruise with a Cause transports volunteer
workers to various places that are in need of
support, and is looking to take a 4,000 person
cruise to Haiti next year.
The passengers on this cruise would
participate in projects that include building
homes, repairing schools, and installing new
water purification systems throughout Portau-
Prince.
The move has been welcomed by Haiti’s
Minister of the Interior Thierry Mayard-Paul
who said “Haiti is at a turning point as a
nation”.
“When you sail into Port-au-Prince, my
friends, you will be making history,” the
minister said.
“Yours will be the first cruise ship to visit our
capital in a quarter of a century: This will be a
milestone to remember, so let me thank you
now for breathing new life into our tourism
sector,” he added.
