We are your travel and tourism guide in Haiti

As the struggles of Haiti is documented broad and wide that is certainly not the case with its many wonders. Isolated incidents attracts most of the attention, but the narrative about Haiti’s many wonders seems to be missing. The story being told out there simply doesn’t match the reality we experience here, and that’s exactly what we are changing. VisitHaiti is a new platform dedicated to create a new narrative about Haiti. A new narrative that tells the stories of the amazingly colourful culture. A new narrative that tells the stories of the magnificent nature found here. A new narrative that tells the stories of the ever-fascinating locals of Haiti. A new narrative that tells the stories that we meet everyday.

We are a local community of writers, photographers, travellers, adventurers and much more with the common denominator of a great love to this place. We develop personal and relevant stories in different formats, and by telling them it’s our hope to inspire the next generation of visitors, and drive positive change for this beautiful country and the inspiring people that live here.
