Co-op could build hotel in Port-au-Prince for extra income.


One idea to keep continuous supply of cash flowing into the co-op is to have a hotel.  Tourism is returning back to Haiti and most of that is centered in and around Port-au-Prince.  So putting a simple hotel in Port-au-Prince is really a smart choice for the future.  As you know I am a fan of shipping containers, and being the country's major port city, it is easy to get these containers in, and to move them in place.  This hotel would be very simple and only contain at most 12 rooms.  While it wouldn't be a major hotel, it would provide strong revenue into the Co-Op.  This will allow the co-op to employ staff that is needed once the Co-Op is larger.  Transporting, packaging, etc. are all jobs that are with the greater good of the cooperative, but not profit making ventures.

To combat the problem of the Co-Op not being able to fun much larger programs, outside revenue sources are needed.  This will prevent the need for investments from outside sources or loan programs.

The Co-Op already has a built in feature that will allow for funds to go for community projects.  It is possible that members of the Co-Op could vote for such a measure as a hotel.  Below are some ideas of simple designs of container hotels that would be perfect for natural disaster area of Haiti.




 Both are attractive option that could bring revenue to the Co-Op and La Gonave via Port-au-Prince and also serve as an option for tourist who are looking for places to stay in the capital city.

Go Gonave!

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Baham...

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that i...

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day,...
