Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

In a previous blog I wrote about a company that wanted to bring a new business concept to Gonave Island.  The company would rely mostly on tourist, but also offer coffee to locals as well.  Coffee Cubes Limited would use shipping containers or build small stations that would allow the coffee to be delivered to customers. Just yesterday I spoke with the company again.  They still have an interest in the project.  I also asked where they get their coffee beans from.  Most of their beans are imported from South America.  I mentioned to them that Gonave currently has coffee operations that exist due to World Vision.  Not only were they excited of this news, but stated that this would potentially be an avenue that they would use to purchase coffee locally. There is more to come on this, but I wanted to get as much information out there as possible.  Be sure to recommend your friends and family to this site! Go Gonave!

  Miami!  While Gonave has dirt runway that can only accommodate very small planes, the new Gonave will have a modern runway.  Based on many international destinations, a 2 mile runway is typical in order for an airport to handle very large passenger and cargo planes. So what American City should be on Gonave's short list of Gateway cities?  Without question this should be Miami for many reasons.  Like New York City, Miami has many Haitian nationals and many people of Haitian decent.  So air traffic to Gonave could easily be established due to this, especially if better infrastructure to Haiti were to happen. The close proximity to Haiti/Gonave makes Miami also very attractive as well.  Smaller aircraft can be flown in initially until service levels prove for larger craft.  Also an entrepreneur on Gonave or Haiti could start a small feeder airline that connects Miami to Gonave. Miami is an international city.  With flights...
