Digicel, the telecommunications giant, and Marriott International recently broke ground on a $45 million hotel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, that is to open in early 2015.
The 175-room hotel is a milestone for both companies: it is Marriott's first in Haiti and Digicel's first foray into tourism. Since the 2010 earthquake, Digicel, the country's largest employer, has spearheaded efforts to attract foreign investors. After realizing that there was a shortage of suitable accommodations for them, the company reached out to Marriott to build a business travelers' hotel with conference rooms and a ballroom that can seat 380 people.
"We are always encouraging people to look at the opportunity that Haiti presents from an investment point of view," said Colm Delves, Digicel's chief executive. "Not only will this be a solution to the accommodation issues in the city, it will also create jobs."
Mr. Delves added that the hotel would also have a swimming pool, restaurant and bar, to appeal to leisure visitors, too.
