Question

For anyone looking for an exotic vacation Is Haiti safe enough for Tourism these days?Anyone been there recently?any tips?

Answer 1

Depends on where you want to go. I've traveled in many different parts of the globe, but if going to Haiti, I would want to go with a group.

Answer 2

Stay with the tourists and populated parts of the city, and near your hotel. I saw a program recently on "Locked Up Abroad" where a guy got outside the city and he was kidnapped by guerrillas and held prisoner in the forests.

Answer 3

Ya go to Brazil instead.

Answer 4

No, it is not safe to "travel" in Haiti, If you want to see nice things and in a safe way, go to the Dominican Republic!!!

I know what I'm talking about, I live there!

L'Antipodien

Answer 5

It's always had the safe tourist side of the island, but the rest is in poverty and high aids rate. The natives are treated badly, I would hate to support their economy by enjoying myself on the fake nice section of the island where all the bad is concealed.

Answer 6

check out: www.travel.state.gov

That's our state department's travel advisory site. It will tell you about social/political conditions in different countries.

My personal opinion is that Haiti is almost always in a state of unrest and if you go you take a BIG personal security risk.

Haiti is the one country in the western hemisphere that can't seem to settle down and get progressive.

Sorry if that offends, but it's a fact.
