Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

Labadee is leased by Royal Caribbean, which the company has had for over a decade.  The land can support two large cruise ships that are docked at once.  The Haitian government gets $6 per person that arrives via the ship. Labadee isn't a very expensive idea.  It is something that could easily be replicated on La Gonave.  It is clear however that Labadee is very well protected.  The ships require that all passengers have a cruise ship issued badge and take it around with them, otherwise they can't get back on the ship.  In addition Labadee isn't accessible by everyone.  There is a fence that stops anyone from entering from the outside, and there is strong security.  This is needed to make visitors feel safe, welcomed, and relaxed.
