Safety
Local public security is generally poor, and tourists are not recommended to engage in tourism activities. The governments of some countries advise against all travel or non-essential travel to Haiti. Violent crime and civil strife are serious problems. Kidnapping is also a risk for travelers.
Since the earthquake on January 12, 2010, many people still live in temporary shelters on the streets. There have been some protests and criminal activities have increased. Use proper judgment when traveling in Haiti. In general, we must be vigilant on the basis of common sense. Do not carry large amounts of cash with you, and do not walk late into the night on a dark street.
Women should not walk alone on the island. The number of people who fled to the island after the earthquake is unknown, but the atmosphere on the island has changed some people. Even when women are walking with other men, Haitian men may speak something. They are not afraid to maintain eye contact, their gaze can be disturbing. Politeness is the best, but keep in touch with your subordinates. There are reports that at the Tucson Louvre International Airport in Port-au-Prince, thieves stole passports from distraught passengers.
Medical treatment
The quality of local medical care is very poor, and the local area is also an infectious area of malaria and AIDS.
