On June 2, 2015, Duty Free America (DFA) has opened a 400 square meters duty free shop at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport. A week before the inauguration, they invited the Haitian Tourism Minister, Stephanie Villedrouin Balmir to personally check out this as one of the beautiful stores in Haiti. To build this store, DFA has rebuilt half of the airport so that the tourists and the local consumers can get a new experience. It is a shop that caters everybody equally. The new store is more focused on liquor, sunglasses, watches, fragrance and other accessories plus edibles. Duty Free Americas (DFA) opened its first duty free store in Haiti on December 18, 2012, at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport arrival lounge near the capital city Port-au-Prince. It was followed by another at the departure lounge in the next year.

The History Of Toussaint Louverture International Airport. Toussaint L'Ouverture is the busiest Haitian international airport located in Tabarre, near Port-au-Prince. In the beginning, during the 1940s, it had been both a military and civil airport. Later, during 1950s and 1960s, it served as a U.S. military base in Haiti. In 1965, with the grant money collected from the "People of Haiti" (lottery, taxes, etc.,) and the U.S. government, the airport was developed in the name of then President François Duvalier. In 1986, it was renamed as Port-au-Prince International Airport. The name was changed again in 2003 by President Jean Bertrand Aristide in the honor of the Haitian revolutionary leader of Toussaint Louverture. The airport was severely damaged in the 2010 earthquake. President Martelly has opened the newly repaired arrival terminal on 25 November 2012. The main building serves as the International terminal. It houses two-story concrete and glass structure, few retail stores. Immigration and check-in facilities are located on the ground floor. The "Guy Malary Terminal" is used for domestic flights. There are specified areas for general aviation and cargo flight. The airport has three jet bridges, mobile stairs, and the ramp can handle 12 planes. There is a renewal program that to be completed by 2015.

Haiti remains one of only 23 world countries that recognize the sovereignty of the Republic of China. The President, Ma Ying-jeou made Haiti one of its stops during a recent tour of those Caribbean nations which give Taipei its support. Also on President Ma's itinerary for a visit is Paraguay, the only South American country that recognizes Taipei, ST. Lucia, ST. Kitts and Nevis and ST. Vincent and the Grenadines. The support is important to the Asian island as Mainland China still considers it as part of its holdings and objects to other country's offering diplomatic recognition.
