Dear
Readers,
Heat, extreme heat. What a blessing that we do not have to drive too far
to immerse ourselves in the bluest of beaches. It is the right time to put on
your tourist hats and venture out of Port-au-Prince. Travel south or north,
east or west, and you are bound to stumble upon a body of water that will
bring some relief to the tropical summer heat. Port Salut, Ile-à-Vache, Côte
des Arcadins, Amiga Island, are some of my favorite places and if I included
waterfalls or caves, and other such places the list would be too long. So do
not hesitate, just go.
Let me be one of the first to welcome you to Ayiti. In this issue of Magic Haiti
you will indubitably develop a better understanding of the abundance,
richness and diversity of our culture as you read the articles on chocolate
bars made in Haiti, a designer who creates hand-painted fashion pieces, a
talented artisan, and the fishing experiences that await you. In addition, you
will discover a carwash that offers much more.
The goal of the magazine is to share many different aspects of our
culture so that you can delve into and experience the vibrancy of this
remarkable island. Take advantage, go snorkeling, hike in the mountains,
leave your footprints, collect memories, and be sure to showcase your
travels as an ambassador.
As you wind up your stay in our slice of the world, I encourage you take
a piece of Haiti home with you.
Be the voice that acclaims Haiti so that others can come and Live the
Experience!

Dear Readers,
Mrs. Stephanie
Balmir Villedrouin
Minister of Tourism
June and July have been extraordinary months rich
in activities and full of good news for the Haitian tourism
sector.
In June the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Industries
of Haiti (MTIC) organized a ‘Roadshow’ in seven cities in the
United States in order to promote the destination. Indeed,
from May 27th to June 5th, a caravan comprised of different
tour operators and representatives of the private and public
tourism sector, stopped in Miami, Atlanta, Orlando, Boston,
Connecticut, New York, and Missouri, bringing good news
to the cities and also returning to Haiti with good news for
tourism.
On June 15th, 16th and 17th, Haiti hosted the large
annual regional conference of the Association of American
Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean
(AACCLA). A first for the country. "A great success for Haiti,"
testified Philippe Armand, President of the Haitian-American
Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM-Haiti), one of the organizers of this event.
Among small and large ongoing projects and inaugurations, Haiti in early July, did very well at Expo
Milano 2015, an international fair held in Milan, Italy.
Haitian fashion, agriculture and cuisine were honored
on Friday, July 10th, which was specially devoted to
Haiti. Culture and beliefs of 150 countries gathered
in one place. If Expo Milano is not a competition per
se, it did not prevent states from around the world
including the United States, Germany, Italy, England,
Japan, France, Argentina, Brazil, Angola, Qatar, Nepal,
Haiti, Togo, Zimbabwe and the Dominican Republic
to roll out their Sunday best to impress and better sell
their culture. MTIC ensured a presentation of typical
local products and the promotion of the destination at
this great event.
In the South, MTIC culminated on Sunday, July 12,
2015, two days of training for the benefit of journalists and
press staff in the department. It was also an opportunity for
the journalists to visit the major ongoing construction projects on Ile-a-Vache.
In addition to these activities, a marketing agreement
was signed with the French tour operator Look Voyages at
the Haitian Embassy in Paris to launch the Haiti destination. An arrival of two hundred tourists a week at Decameron Club Indigo is planned for the coming days, and was
announced to the Parisian press.
Meanwhile, preparations for CARIFESTA are going
well. The heads of delegation and artistic directors of the
countries participating in this great festival are already on
site and are put the finishing touches for a successful 12th
edition.
Take the opportunity to plan your summer holidays
and participate in the Caribean Festival to be held nowhere
else but in Haiti from August 21 to 30, 2015.
Come! And bring your family and friends with you!
Haiti awaits you!
Chers lecteurs et lectrices,
Quels mois extraordinairement riches en activités et
bonnes nouvelles pour le secteur touristique Haïtien que ces
mois de juin et juillet 2015!
Juin a été chaleureusement accueilli par un roadshow
organisé par le Ministère du tourisme et des Industries Créatives d'Haïti dans 7 villes américaines, dans le but de promouvoir la destination. En effet, du 27 mai au 5 juin, la caravane
composée des tours opérateurs et des différents représentants du secteur privé et public touristique, s'est tour à tour
arrêtée à Miami, Atlanta, Orlando, Boston, Connecticut, New
York et Missouri, apportant chez eux et revenant en Haïti
avec de bonnes nouvelles pour le tourisme.
Les 15, 16 et 17 juin, Haïti a hébergé l'AMCHAM, la
grande conférence régionale annuelle de l'Association des
Chambres de commerce américaines d'Amérique latine
et des Caraïbes (AACCLA). Une première pour le pays. « Un
très grand succès pour Haïti », a témoigné Philippe Armand,
président de la Chambre de commerce haïtiano-américaine
(AMCHAM-Haïti), l’un des organisateurs de cet événement.
Entres petits et grands chantiers, de projets en cours et
d'inaugurations, Haïti a pour ce début de juillet, encore une
fois fait belle figure à Expo Milano 2015, cette grande foire
internationale tenue à Milan en Italie. La mode, l’agriculture
et la cuisine haïtiennes ont été à l’honneur ce vendredi 10
juillet consacré spécialement à Haïti. La culture et les croyances de 150 pays réunis en un seul endroit. Si Expo Milano
n’est pas une compétition en soi, cela n'a tout de même
pas empêché des Etats du monde entier comme les EtatsUnis, l’Allemagne, l’Italie, l’Angleterre, le Japon, la France,
l’Argentine, le Brésil, l’Angola, le Qatar, le Népal, Haïti, Togo,
Zimbabwe et la République dominicaine de sortir leurs plus
beaux costumes du dimanche pour impressionner et mieux
vendre leurs cultures. Le Ministère du Tourisme et des Industries Créatives (MTIC) s’est assuré d’une présentation de
produits typiques du terroir et de la promotion de la destination à ce grand évènement.
Dans le Sud, le MTIC a clôturé le dimanche 12 juillet
2015, deux journées de formation à l'intention des journalistes et travailleurs de la presse de ce département. Ce fut
aussi l'occasion pour les journalistes, de visiter les grands
travaux de construction en cours sur l'Île.
En marge de ces activités, un accord de marketing a
été signé avec le tour opérateur français Look Voyages à
l'Ambassade de Paris, pour lancer la destination Haïti. Une arrivée de deux cent touristes par semaine au Decameron Club
Indigo est prévue pour les jours à venir, et a été annoncée à
la presse parisienne.
Entre temps, les préparatifs pour CARIFESTA vont bon
train. Les chefs de délégation et directeurs artistiques des
pays participants à ce grand festival sont déjà sur place
et mettent les dernières mains pour une 12ème édition
réussie.
Profitez-en pour planifier vos vacances d'été et participer au Caribean Festival qui se tiendra cette année nulle part
d'autre qu'en Haïti, du 21 au 30 Août 2015.
Venez! Et amenez familles et amis avec vous!
Haïti vous attend!

enim, fish skin, wine bottles, umbrellas, and coconut shells are not
usually the materials that come
to mind when thinking about
creating high end fashion designs. However, Hatian eco-designer Catherine
Edouard Charlot has been using these exact items to create sandals, dresses, jackets, bags, tables, dining accessories, and
more. Using her creative mind and flair
for design, these recycled items are taken
apart, cut, cleaned, and repurposed into
new designs.
Catherine explains that her passion for
fashion began at an early age. When she
was barely a teenager, she began to sew her
4 MAGIC HAITI JUNE / JULY 2015
own clothing, fashioning a dress using
material from old shirts belonging to her
father. Wanting to refine her skills and
enter the fashion market, her love for
design led her to enroll at the Verona Alta
Costura School of Fashion in Haiti and
then at the prestigious Fashion Institute of
Technology in New York City.
She started Himane Sustainable
Designs in 1998 and delved into recycling a few years later. Himane was the
name of Catherine's mother, and she
found it fitting to use the name of her
strongest supporter, ally and friend.
She continues to honor her mother day
by day, by reusing forgotten materials,
redefining and transforming all of
them into extraordinary items.
Some of her most popular pieces
include end tables. What makes the
living room accessory unique is
the use of large recycled wine
bottles as legs as well as hand
painted tables. They come in vari-
ous dimensions and are sure to
be the subject of rave reviews by
patrons.
Her refined clutches, totes, and
satchels are also in demand and are
usually made with denim, leather,
organic cotton, among others. One
of my personal favorite items from

Through Himane, Catherine is also able to combine
her passion for fashion and

youth and educating them
about recycling.

Catherine has been featured in magazines such as
Forbes and Oprah, yet she
remains down to earth and
focused on her goal, which
is to positively contribute to
the society she lives in by
honoring its resources.
For Catherine, the repurposing of used materials into design breathes life
into each new object, giving
it a renewed sense of purpose while also promoting
sustainability. Through recycling, she is creating fashionable items that will be
around for a long time.

ome of the world’s most
prized cacao is nestled
in the forests of Haiti.
The plant extracted and
transformed into delectable
chocolate. Cacao is a persnickety
tree requiring specific amounts
of rain water, a rainforest canopy,
and though tropical at times,
it desires mild temperature.
Luckily for Haiti, our climate is
apt just for such a tree.
Corinne Joachim Sanon
Symietz didn’t imagine that
she would be evolving in her
budding chocolate production
business. She grew up in Haiti
and went to study in the US with
the intention of learning something that would help her cre-

ate jobs in Haiti. She studied
industrial engineering at the
University of Michigan and
went on to work for various
companies including L’Oréal,
and a defense company.
This afforded her the
opportunity to acquire industrial engineering chops. She
then honed her skills in man-
agement, human resources, and
finance when she earned her
MBA from the Wharton School
of Business.
In the fall of 2014, Corinne
was reading an article regarding
Haitian Cacao and she realized
that it was time to bring the first
Haiti based bean-to-bar company to fruition. Many companies
export cacao from Haiti, but a
business venture focusing on
the production of chocolate
bars did not exist. And Askanya
emerged in the market as the first
chocolate production company.
Askanya is co-owned by four
partners, Alexandra Lecorps,
Andreas Symietz, Gentilé Sénat,
and Corinne.
Askanya comprises a
staff of 15 employees and
works with a network of 2,000
farmers. The creation of the
company was truly a labor of
international
collaboration.
Corinne met Alexandra while at the University
of Michigan. The two along with their
partner Andreas put the bones of the
business together with the help of
several consultants. Alexandra, a
Ph.D candidate in Biology, quit
work in the US and endeavored
to learn as much as possible
about chocolate. Alexandra
interned at a company in Portland, Maine called “Woodblock
Chocolate” for one month
before moving to Haiti to
supervise the construction of the

plant. The group transformed
Corinne’s grandparents’ house
in Ouanaminthe, north of Haiti,
into the epicenter of Askanya’s
production.
They then sought the
advice of French/Mexican chocolatier, Chloe Doutre Roussel,
the former head of Chocolate
at Ladurée. Haitian-American
designer Marlie Décopain
developed the Haiti-centric
colorful design. A New York
based company assisted with
branding.
Upon completion of the
plant in May of 2015, only 6
months after the idea came
about, Askanya sold its first
chocolate bars. They sold out
immediately, and quickly went
back to work to provide jobs
and livelihoods for thousands
in Haiti. Askanya has big plans,
with a 36 month goal of 1 million
US Dollars in sales. It currently
has two types of bars, milk and
dark chocolate, with plans to
add a rapadou (Haitian
Molasses) flavor.
The
name
Askanya
derives from Andreas’ hometown in Germany“Aschersleben”.
The Latinized form of the
word would be “Ascania,”
which connects to the ancient
Roman figure Ascanius. Just
as Ascanius became the legendary mythology King, Askanya
hopes to become the queen of
chocolate in the Caribbean.
Askanya products are sold in several
supermarkets, Karibe Boutique &

Rapid Car Wash
A Getaway Right in

“
This is definitely the best
spaghetti I've had in a
long time!” It was a little
bit hard for me to admit
that since I am not a big fan
of pasta, and I did not even
want to try it in the first place.
Nevertheless, my friend
insisted. “You are going to like
it”, she said. Turned out she
was right! As a matter of fact, I
liked it so much that I actually
went to Rapid Car Wash, the
place she bought it from, to
treat myself to another pasta
dish a few days later.
Located in Bois Verna,
Rapid Car Wash is a regular car
10 MAGIC HAITI JUNE / JULY 2015
actual car wash works from 9
am to 5 pm while the kitchen
stays open late at night.
Open air, friendly service,
good food, and great prices!
Rapid Car wash has all the
things a savvy customer is
looking for. With its rustic decor,
the restaurant is a perfect get
away in the middle of the city.
And by the way, since I saw the
wash with the exception that it
is not just a car wash. It houses
a restaurant that changes the
atmosphere and turns it into
a cozy place where you can
enjoy a well-cooked meal
while waiting for your car to
be detailed.
Rapid Car Wash is nothing fancy, yet it is one of the
best places to have breakfast, lunch or even dinner
downtown. The restaurant is
arranged as a sports bar including flatscreens on the
wall, and metal chairs and
tables which give a very cozy
feel. The menu is very simple,
featuring regular local food such
as conch and goat, and natural
drinks, including fresh coconut
water. However, their must-have
is the whole roasted chicken that
is served with fried plantain, fries
or rice. Prepared Haitian style, it is
very well cooked and seasoned
and is very moist. And when you
add their homemade hot sauce,
it is simply Delish!
One more interesting
thing about Rapid Car Wash
is that their prices are really
affordable. The customers
always mention how happy
they are with these prices.
“I live in the area, and I could
literally eat here every day!
Delivery would also be a great
asset. However I really don't mind
coming here and sharing a meal
in such a comfy place with my
friends or my family,” says Tanya,
a satisfied customer.
With no sign at the entrance
and any type of advertisement,
the restaurant seems to be a
place for connoisseur. You could
pass by it for months without
noticing it until someone tells
you that you have to enter that
random car wash. Therefore,
the restaurant is mostly visited
by some regular clients that either work or live in the area. The
care given to washing the cars,
on my next visit (which will be
soon), I will definitely have my
car washed.
Head on to Rapid Car Wash,
get your car cleaned and let your
palate get satisfied.

Sets New Norm in Cap-Haitien
C
ap-Haitien, once considered the little Paris
of Haiti, is becoming
one of Haiti’s hottest
new destinations of choice. The
small town feel and slower pace
of this growing town brings a
special charm and atmosphere
rarely felt in the bustling streets
of the capital. Visitors to CapHaitien have access to the most
beautiful beaches along the
Northern coast, historic sites
such as Sans Souci Palace and
the Citadelle Laferrière, and a
cultural experience unlike any

found in Haiti. With the arrival of
American Airlines to the newly
renovated airport, it is faster and
more affordable than ever to
come stay in Cap-Haitien.
Whether you are planning
your first trip, or you have visited many times before, there is a
new hotel in town that is quickly
gaining recognition and setting
a new standard for comfort.
Habitation Jouissant is
a new kind of hotel for the
North. Considered a boutique
hotel, Habitation Jouissant goes
beyond just creating a relaxing
12 MAGIC HAITI JUNE / JULY 2015
and beautiful ambiance for its
guest, they want you to have
the personalized service that
you need to feel right at home.
Literally.
According to hotel manager Catherine Béliard, “‘No’ is
not an option at our hotel. Whatever you need to make your
stay more comfortable, we will
provide it for you. If the guest
wants slippers and a bathrobe,
done. We will make that happen.
If the guest likes the painting on
the wall, then we will sell it to
them. No problem.”
Béliard explained that
service at a standard hotel is
offered, but with limits. At
Habitation Jouissant, they will fill
your request on demand. Why
else would the president stay
here when he comes to town?
Not only is the presidential suite
one of the most beautiful and
spacious rooms offered in all
of Cap-Haitien, but the hotel
provides just what is needed to
make him feel at home.
This ginger bread style villa
was not always a hotel though.
For years Béliard’s family used
“‘No’ is not an option at our hotel.
Whatever you need to make your stay more
comfortable, we will provide it for you. "
the villa as a bed and breakfast.
It was so popular that it just
seemed right to turn it into a
hotel that provided the same
level of comfort and personalized
service as the bed and breakfast.
Since 2010 the hotel has
gained popularity and in 2014
was rated as a 4 Hibiscus by
Haiti’s Ministry of Tourism, and
listed as number one on Trip
Adviser for Cap-Haitien.
The hotel boasts an unmatched bird’s eye view of CapHaitien and its surrounding coastline. The ocean breeze climbs
up the mountain and cools the
charming dining and pool areas.
Habitation Jouissant’s restaurant,
Basilik, is host to some of the top
chefs in Northern Haiti, and the
Lime Bar provides visitors with
incredible views while enjoying
their favorite drinks.

“If tourism is to grow in
Northern Haiti, then the local
infrastructure must accommodate the needs of the visitors,” Béliard continues. “We
provide hotel shuttle service
to and from the airport, and
if getting out and seeing the
country side interests you,
we have guided tours and
transportation to all of the top
historic sights.”
Right now the quaint
little hotel has 13 rooms, but
big plans are in the works
for 2015 and beyond. In the
next year, Habitation Jouissant plans to expand to 60
rooms, add a new spa, gym,
conference center for 120
people, and a parking lot
which will accommodate 80
vehicles. “These plans are
already in the works and we
have already started breaking ground,” says Béliard.
Truly, this one of a kind
hotel could be the new norm
for comfort and service in CapHaitien. As the tourism industry continues to grow in CapHaitien, you can be assured that
Habitation Jouissant will continue to stand as one of the favorite
hotels for all those visiting this
beautiful country.

SAND I LOU
Creating wearable works of art
Article by Kristine Belizaire | Photos by Ludmillo Pierre and courtesy of SANDILOU
A
rt has a way of
changing one's perspective and touching
a deep place within
one's soul. When you find that
particular artwork that really
speaks to you, there is immediately a need to possess it. As
I strolled through Artisanat en
Fête, Haiti's largest artisanal
fair held annually in the fall,
I was immediately struck
by the vibrant and refined
scarves displayed in a booth.
I learned that they were the
creations of Sandra Russo,
the owner of SANDILOU.
Sandra and her husband
Alfredo Russo are not novices to
the Haitian fashion industry. For
over three decades, they have
been working in the Haitian
ashion industry, under the name
of Fred Bernard, a collaboration between Alfredo and his
associate Bernard Combette.
After Combette's departure
from the business in 1986, the
husbandandwifeduocontinued
to make their mark in the textile
industry with their hand-painted
materials.
16 MAGIC HAITI JUNE / JULY 2015
The two have known good
and difficult times in the past
30 years. During the embargo,
the workshop was unsuccessful,
and the duo found it necessary
to venture out of Haiti to give
their business the opportunity
to flourish.
They ended up in Grenada,
where SANDILOU was born. The
name is very personal Sandra, as
it is a combination of her and her
sister's name. The newly-created
fashion line brought one of kind
hand-painted scarves that were
immediately a hit. The reviews
were so positive that resort wear
was eventually added to the
line.
Though things were going
very well, the couple decided to
return back home to Haiti. Now
in Delmas 64, all of SANDILOU's
items are being created by local,
talented artists under Sandra's
watchful eye. "It is truly a team
effort, the work of many to make
these items," she tells me.
Using a blank canvas,
the artists carefully paint
and swirl designs using dyes
and textile paint. The end
products are truly
unique items such
as tunics, dresses,
cushions, and even
accessories. Sandra,
who is trained in
arts, photography and sculpture, prides herself on using these designs mainly on
natural fiber fabrics such as
cotton, rayon, linen, and lightweight materials that suit
the tropical weather of the
Caribbean.
One of her the line's most
popular items are the intricately
hand-painted scarves. Made from
100 percent silk, they can be worn
as a wrap, shawl, and of course, a
"It is truly a team effort, the work of

she explains.
Passionate about giving
back to her community, Sandra also provides training
to artists, allowing them to
hone their skills and potentially find contract jobs with
other designers in the country.
A visit to Haiti is never
complete without a souvenir,
and SANDILOU's items provide you with your very own
distinctive wearable artwork
to take home with you.

its own name, emphasizing
its personality. One extremely vivid scarf is La Marchande (The Tradeswoman) an
elaborate item with a
woman wearing a vibrant
green skirt and balancing
a bowl of produce on her
head. Another spectacular

Take the Plunge
Just a girl and her
fishing pole
By Rachele Viard | Photos by Hunter Kittrell, courtesy of Marina Blue Haiti & Labadee Charters
H
aiti is a beautiful and
fascinating country. It
truly is hard not to fall
in love with it. There
is so much to discover, especially its beaches, provinces,
and people. There is nothing
better as far as I’m concerned
than being on a boat lost at sea
with the possibility of fishing,
a pastime I picked when I
was a young girl which I
have been rediscovering here
on this beautiful island. My last
fishing adventure led me to the
south coast, leaving early in the
morning from Grand Goâve. I
was anxious to get going! Fishing
rods, cooler full of drinks and
snacks all packed for the day
(my uncle is King in organizing
delicious assortments for any
adventure) we (my aunts, uncle,
and two of their friends) are ready
to set sail!
The atmosphere is quiet and
clam as we depart. Though it’s
a fun ride, it took one maybe
two hours, I can’t be sure anymore. I was having so much
fun, that I don’t remember the
time passing. Our trip, this time
takes us to a small island named
Rochelois or "Boman”.
The
captain, my uncle, says the area we
are headed to is known for both
MAGIC HAITI 19
Wahoo and Mahi Mahi, some
of my favorite fish. As the boat
rips through the sea, we near
Boman situated in Petite Rivière
de Nippes. It’s such a beautiful
area one can’t help but forget
their problems and become one
with nature.
It is a fishing village with
an abundant amount of conch
which is the main source of income of the area. There is also
a lighthouse with solar energy.
Fishermen on small boats offer
the catch of the day which will be
put up for sale in large cities like
Grand-Goâve or Miragoâne.
The area is very appropriate for discovery of our sea
life which is wonderful and
breathtaking. So our day passes
much the same with breaks here
and there for snacking; jokes;
good-humored and fun-loving
conversations; snapping a few
pictures, and cries of joy as someone catches a fish. The cameras
went wild as the fish were reeled
in. It really was a pleasure just
lying out under the warmth of
the sunshine. Fishing is really one
of Haiti’s greatest past time and
you really do get the chance to
appreciate the richness that lies
beneath our sea.
Another trip, like this one is
needed for sure, I had an amazing time with great company
that I love.
I recommend that you
jump at the opportunity to fish.
Places like Moulin-sur-Mer which
is home to Marina Blue Haiti
offers fishing trips as well as
various types of boating excursions to places such as Côte des
Arcadins, La Gonâve, Les Pockets,
and Pointe Saint-Marc. Another
option is Labadee Charters
located in Cap-Haitien, they
too provide fishing excursions
and diverse types of tours.
I for one recommend
giving it a try! And as
Maxim of Labadee Charters
says “Expect the unexpected!
