Description
Summary:In this paper, we approach urban heritage tourism practices in Haiti, focusing on four cities in the country: Cap-Haïtien and Milot, located in the North Department; Jacmel, Southeast Department and Port-au-Prince, West Department. The choice of these cities as the object of analysis is because they are the urban regions that concentrate national and world cultural heritage. With this in mind, we aim to reflect on the urban tourism practices of four cultural heritage sites, three of which are national, and one is worldwide. This article is based on bibliographic research and analysis of reports and statistical data tourism and heritage on urban Haiti. We believe that tourism practices in Haiti are inadequate, and we feel the need to rethink tourism in historic heritage Haitian cities.
