Tourism  
Eco- and Adventure Tourism. Since before Columbus, Haiti has appealed to the adventurous explorer in all of us. It is therefore no wonder that certain unique kinds of environmental, cultural, adventure and historical tourism have begun to develop in Haiti. When at Dame Marie and further down the coast in Anse d'Hainault, you get the distinct impression that you are at the end of the earth. And you are. Hiking outside these towns you are as remote and cut off from the digital world as you would be in Timbuktu.
