Minister of Tourism Haiti

Take a look at this rendering of a proposed beachfront resort development in Cote-de-Fer Haiti from the ministry of tourism.

Haiti's Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin had the great ambition to turn Cote-de-Fer Haiti into a resort area similar to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Haiti Needed $350 Million to develop 16-Mile stretch in Cote-de-Fer Haiti.

The plan was to turn a 16-mile stretch of largely unoccupied beachfront on the country's southern coast, known as Côté-de-Fer, to build a resort area in the likes of Punta Cana in the neighboring Dominican Republic

Haiti's Ministry of Tourism estimated it would need up to $350 million in private investment to develop the area, including infrastructure such as utilities, a sewer system and roads.
