Port-au-Prince May Soon Receive First Cruise Ship in 25 Years
Haiti's Minister of the Interior, Thierry Mayard-Paul, met with officials of a Christian missionary group last week, pushing for the group's Cruise With a Cause to bring volunteers to the Haitian capital in 2013.
Haitian tourism took a nosedive after 1986, when civil unrest followed the ouster of president Jean-Claude Duvalier and peacekeeping troops replaced cruise ships and resorts.
