Haiti is not a normal leisure destination right now. Travel is dominated by extreme security risk, especially gang violence, kidnappings, and instability, with very limited practical tourist infrastructure. Some flights and arrivals still exist, but most visitors are diaspora, NGO, business, or tightly organized travelers rather than ordinary leisure tourists.
