Labadee (Labadie): A Dream Destination in Haiti

Labadee, located on the northern coast of Haiti, is much more than just a stopover for cruise passengers. This little corner of paradise is known for its fine sand beaches, turquoise waters and breathtaking landscapes. Labadee is a protected enclave, managed largely by the Royal Caribbean cruise line.

Labadee is not only a relaxing destination, but also a place rich in activities. Visitors can practice various water sports, explore local craft markets, or venture on the famous zip line. This destination is also steeped in history, offering tourists a glimpse into Haiti’s rich cultural heritage through traditional shows and guided tours.

A Return Awaits with Hope

The announcement of the return of cruises to Labadee is greeted with great optimism, both by stakeholders in the tourism sector and by the local population. The suspension of activities had had a considerable impact on the region’s economy.

Frantz Duval, in announcing this news on X, underlines the importance of this return for the country. In his message, he stated:

Cruises to Labadee should resume by October 2024, Le Nouvelliste learned from a source close to the company that operates the Labadee wharf. This announced return of tourists will come after months of suspension of activities in Haiti’s only cruise port 🇭🇹.

Perspectives d’Avenir

With the resumption of cruises, Labadee could once again become one of Haiti’s main tourist attractions. The challenge for authorities and site managers will be to ensure the safety of tourists while preserving the authenticity and natural appeal of the destination. Labadee could not only contribute to the revival of the Haitian tourism sector, but also serve as a model for the sustainable development of other tourist sites across the country.

In the meantime, the announcement of this return to normal is already seen as a positive signal for a country in search of stability and economic development. The long-awaited return of tourists to Labadee could well mark the beginning of a new era for tourism in Haiti.

Haiti, dream space.

Between dream and Haitian reality: A call for unity and action Many men have dreamed big for Haiti. Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines are examples. Although torn apart by invisible hands, the social fabric of the country had always been considered the greatest project to be set in motion by men of letters. Until then, the history of Haïti remains and remains for Haitians the most appropriate space to dream and propose full and complete freedom. Indeed, Toussaint Louverture had the dream of improving the lot of slaves. Dessalines, for his part, sacrificed himself for the independence of our island (Haiti-Saint-Domingue). After our liberation from the French, men of letters had to take other paths to safeguard the dignity of the country. This situation showed another form of revolution like poets of the patriotism school with supporters such as: Louis Joseph Janvier, Anténor Firmin, Demesvar Délorme and the Generation of the Round with Fernand Hibbert, Georges Sylvain also the indigenous school with Jean Price Mars, Jacques Stephen Alexis, Roussan Camille etc... who express their discontent by pouring ink. By describing or painting the situation of the country. Several years which were first conceived and then born the idea of ​​giving the country its sovereignty, its own bicolor, its army, etc. it was not easy and did not continue like this. Haïti needs for the moment men of dreams, men who love their countries, but not the wealth of this country, men who love the happiness of their country, but not its misfortunes, men who have viable projects , but are not specialists in carnage who are only interested in their pockets, rather for the happiness of our two-tone, men who must fight against corruption, against waste, against the invisible hands of foreigners, against this form of public administration which targets only a small group of people in the country to the detriment of the population, this form of insecurity planned by the state, the so-called bourgeoisies, economic powers from abroad such as: France, USA, Canada, Brazil. q~Haïti in 1979 with full power. Maître Fevry is said to have declared: The dream of Haïti cannot support, nor accept improvised solutions ~q. The Haitian’s dream must always be a team effort. A team of men of skill, vision, good will, reflection and meditation. q~ Men who can place their personal and private interests over public interests. Men who want to make a new start to achieve the dream of Jean Jacques Dessalines and that of Henri Christophe who aimed that Haitians will not envy any other country in the world so that all Haitians can be happy in their own country, chanted Professor Lesly Saint Roc Manigat.~q Our dear Haiti, which was once the pearl of the Antilles, is no longer present today. For this we ask all Haitians: children, young people, adults and old people, let us unite our arms, our strength, our voices and all that we could do to liberate our dear homeland Haïti Chérie. Let’s change our reality together! Long live Haiti, long live freedom for the whole world.
