port salut and st. jean du sud

In Haiti's South Department lies the beauty of Port-Salut. The town was the birth place of former President, Aristide, and Prime Minister, Cherestal.

World Tourist Development has ignored the potential of Port-Salut to offer more than silver-sand beaches. It needs eco-tourists to discover its flora- and fauna-proliferated terrain.

Now that the Diaspora has been awakened to Port-Salut's potential as a tourist magnet, it is the government's obligation to help Port-Salut increase its tourism.

The visit of the Catholic leader has severl meanings. Pope John Paul II who visited Haiti in 1983, mentioned the Polish contribution to the Slave rebellion leading to Haiti's independence. Several Haitians with polish ancestry were selected by the Duvalier regime to attend the various ceremonies organized for the Pope visit.

You can see the Polish influence in several towns in Haiti, such as Casale, La Vallee de Jacmel, Fond des Blancs, La Baleine, Port Salut and St. Jean du Sud
