When I wrote about the world's most dangerous destination in January (see here: http://www.forbes.com/2008/01/16/travel-world-dangerous-forbeslife-cx_rr_0117travel.html) I received a lot of criticism from Haitians who felt the news about their country was always bad. This story looks at efforts to turn Haiti into a tourist destination, including expanded cruise service and improved access to historic sites. Political instability has since interrupted those efforts, but organizers are hopeful that the situation will get better. The key thing here is that Haiti is missing out on a billion dollar industry as a result. How can they turn things around?

I'm not mad but truth is truth cuz i stopped going to Haiti to not to long ago cause the country is bad period!
corruption at an all time high, kidnappings happening since 2003, and the economy has been in constant peril!

and you know what???? some government offiacials have been profitiing from the kidnappings and the defunct president doesn't seem to care.
but why is it that beautiful places have such evil history?
