Rebuilding Haiti – the Role of Tourism Development

5 March, 2010 - 13:37 — Emily

In the devastating earthquake of Haiti, on January 12, approximately 220 000 people died, 300 000 were injured and more than million were left homeless. The severity of this natural disaster has posed great challenges to the international community and many countries have responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and other support personnel. Communication systems, transport facilities, hospitals and electronic networks were damaged by the earthquake, which has also slowed down the rescue efforts.

In a way this process can be described as a search of alternative and responsible tourism that would be an antithesis of mass tourism. One example of alternative forms of tourism is so called VolunTourism.
