Above is the Island of Jeju in South Korea. Ile-a-Vache, Haiti is being looked at by the Haitian Government to be a tourist destination for locals as well as people from around the world. The island still holds true to what Haiti use to look like.  The lack of man-made destruction on the island is very appealing for the government.  The island currently is self sustaining with respect to food and even has a small 20 room hotel on it.
