The 9.8 percent rate is one of the highest growth rates of any Caribbean tourism destination, bested only by Aruba, Cuba, andTrinidad and Tobago.

In 2014, Haiti received a total of 465,174 stayover visitors for the year, up 10.8 percent from the previous year.

Haiti’s numbers have been boosted in part by new flights from American Airlines and JetBlue.
