People came here to get impressions of the numerous beaches, mountains, local cuisine, art, religion. The tourism sector alternately experienced an upswing and a downturn, until the high level of violence, political struggle, and the 2010 earthquakes finally made the Republic of Haiti unattractive for travelers.
