new Marriott in Haiti
Here is a picture of the new Marriott in Haiti
The excitement is in the potential the hotel possesses for positively propelling the country's economy skyward. The partners, the Digicel Group, the Clinton Foundation, and the Marriott Hotel chain, have combined the lure of a newly rejuvenated industry with a glamorous hotel design, and have coupled this with a conscientious business model that should put a significant amount of the profits to be realized into the accounts of not just the hotel's management, but local businesses and the mainly Haitian workforce tasked with the day to day operations of the hotel.
Taking from the disadvantaged in the country, the hotel has employed nearly 200 Haitian, some of whom are bilingual members of the diaspora. The opening gives hope to the country that has been experiencing instability, with various riots and unrest, for weeks now.
New Marriott in the heart of Port-au-Prince, Haiti
A new Marriott in the heart of Port-au-Prince. Here is an important milestone in Haiti, the opening of the Marriott Port-au-Prince.
With the help of the Clinton Foundation worked closely with Marriott and Digicel Group, this new hotel will likely attract more foreign direct investment to Haiti
Like a shiny, white beacon to match the high expectations being placed on its shoulders, the 11-story Marriott Hotel in Port-au-Prince, newly opened for business as of the 25th of February, stands out for its newness, simplistic outer design and its ability to reflect the sunlight. While Haiti on a whole and its tourism sector in particular have been benefitting from a tremendous influx of support from local investments and help from around the world, leading to the erection of many new hotels, the implementation of a hibiscus rating system, and a general overhaul of many popular tourist sites with the addition of new ones, it is this hotel which garnered much attention, compelling the presence of Haiti's President Michel Martelly, and former U.S. President Bill Clinton to its grand opening.

Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti
On August 8, 2014, I had a chance to visit Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti to evaluate how they have been delivering services to their consumers. It is located in a great location, at the corner of 82nd Street and 2nd Avenue, NE. This is considered a prime location for business in the Little Haiti area as many Haitians see first thing as they travel in the busy NE 2nd Avenue. You just can't miss it.
The appearance was very impressive at Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti. You enter a room clean and well organized. There are plenty of space to seat while waiting for the next available agent to serve you. Don't worry about it, you will not have to wait that long anyway. This site is really not crowded. While I was there, it did not take me even thirty seconds for someone to ask me how she could help me.
Although I received prompt and quick services at Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti, the reception was far from being warmth. Like many other Haitian businesses, Airline Ticketing Center in Little Haiti suffers from lack of customer service skills. It was not long before I realized that the person who was serving me was not willing to go out of her way to help. Instead, she was ready to refer me to the next staff member just for a simple question. In addition, they were not able to give me a business card.
This is not surprising and for a Haitian business in little Haiti, that is considered to be normal. The Haitian customer usually does not ask for much and sometime forget that they are the one keeping these people in business.

CoHata d'Haiti, Haitian Airline
Here is a picture of the CoHata d'Haiti logo and airline, the original Haitian Airline
Before it ended operations in 1974, the Haitian airline, CoHata d'Haiti, was the country's domestic airline with an operation between the capital and another 7 of its major cities. The fleet of Douglas DC-3 planes were operated by pilots and co-pilots that were American trained, and it maintained a glowing record of having no customer or crew injuries and no accidents throughout its years of operation which began in 1942.
CoHata d'Haiti, also maintained a high standard with the constant overhauling of its engines and planes.
