Tourism lodging ideas

 Beach side cabins like these could be easily done on La Gonave to promote tourism.

 This open bay window would be perfect to face out toward the beach.

 Retail shops could also be located nearby which would serve both tourists and locals.
The idea of building large hotel buildings on La Gonave is not one that can be done easily.  Yes there are actual hotels on the island, however building a highrise structure on La Gonave has it's own logistical problems. 

Many travelers like the idea of having their own cottage on the beach.  The idea of having your own "mini house" is something that tourist usually seek when they go camping.  So having these type of small cottages is like a home away from home.

These structures are seen all over Key West, FL.  Like Haiti, the Florida Keys are battered by hurricanes as well.  We can even design these structures to be movable as well and loaded on the back of wheeled trailers.

The idea of having these private rooms, while great in many aspects, these facilities will not have indoor plumbing.  Usually these rooms are big enough for a bed and small makeup area.  No sink, no toilet, and no fridge.  So a bathroom stall near these cottages would have to be constructed.  Even putting solar panels on the roof top of each unit would be a viable way of supplying each unit with power.  These small cottages add a charm to the island, and could be locally built.  Imagine the unique colors of each building, reminding travelers that they have reached a tropical paradise.

Then the other side of this is jobs.  Hostess, house keepers, cooks, construction workers, etc are all needed.  On top of that creating a small retail area is a way for locals to sell their goods and services.  Again this can be done without the expense and lengthy construction of steel and concrete.  Couple this with connecting the area to the bikeway system and mini bus line.  You then have a viable tourist destination where tourist can see the island, and experience the charm.

What are your thought on tourism lodging such as this?

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 is true, it can help with jobs, a

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

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 Bahamas, then it would serve as

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, and show a bright fu
