In an interview by Fox Business Network, Apple Leisure Group CEO Alex Zozaya stated that Haiti provides a great opportunity as a travel destination in the Caribbean.
"When they asked me about what is the next opportunity, the next place I see that is really going to explode in terms of a great destination, closer to home for the American market, I think Haiti provides a great opportunity,” he said. “It is a beautiful place, has an excellent location. We are trying to develop a destination within the destination, kind of like with Bali, people go to Bali not to Indonesia, " stated Zozaya.
"We are putting a master plan together, inviting several investors."
He added: “We are the asset-light type of business where we have the management and the branding of the hotels,” he said. “We are trying to bring other players to have a multi-brand destination, building its own airport and golf course, etc., to develop this destination, which is safe, is a great value for money, and a beautiful place.”
