Tourism in Haiti is an industry that generated just under a million arrivals in 2012, and is typically one of the main sources of revenue for the nation.[1] With its favorable climate, second-longest coastline of beaches, and most mountainous ranges in the Caribbean,[2][3] waterfalls,[4] caves,[5] colonial architecture and distinct cultural history, Haiti has had its history as an attractive destination for tourists. However, unstable governments have long contested its history and the country's economic development throughout the 20th century.[6]
