Tourism and Commerce To encourage the interaction and active involvement of Haitian expatriates into the development process, the NOAH/HAFED Coalition organized an investment promotion mission to Haiti. Over 40 Haitian-American business leaders were given the opportunity to meet with Haitian counterparts in government and business to discuss the common goal of Haiti's economic recovery. During this expedition, the group, through NOAH/HAFED, visited the island of La Gonâve, and engaged in meaningful dialogue on the viability of developing the island in a manner that is responsive to the environment and Haiti's economic growth. This initial expedition ultimately led to the La Gonâve Geo Economic Modeling Initiative.
