Welcome to BrandHaiti’s “Ayiti Cheri” Voyage at Wahoo Bay Beach Club & Resort in Côte-des-Arcadins, Haïti! Discover the beauty of this Caribbean island nation on white sand beaches, take a fishing boat off the coast to snorkel in the coral reefs…bref, fall in love with “Ayiti Cheri!” Relax during the evening with live music and a Rhum Sour next to the pool, and adventure during the day in the mountains on a hiking trip. On your one-week voyage to Haiti, you will discover a new image of hope and progress while critically discussing the future of Haiti with some of its business leaders and entrepreneurs. Your time in Haiti will be mixed with our focus groups with Haitian entrepreneurs at the hotel to provide an alternative perspective of beauty, entrepreneurship, hope, and resilience. We hope you will see for yourselves to what point the negative image of Haiti is intentionally exaggerated while the positive sides of Haiti remain in the darkness. As we say, “Jou a rive pou nou chanje,” or “The time has come for us to change.” If you have questions or comments about the itinerary, please email BrandHaiti President Nic Marie-Gabrielle Isidore at mariegabby@gmail.com. Thank you for your enthusiasm, e bon vwayaj! Please learn more about Wahoo Bay by watching the BrandHaiti promotional video of the resort by clicking here.
