THE NORTH DEPARTMENTAL DIRECTORATE OF THE PNH, CLEANS CAP-HAITIEN (Haiti Libre) -

Following the awareness campaign and of civic engagement, launched by the Northern Regional Office of Tourism, on May 16, the Departmental Directorate North of the PNH, proceeded earlier this week, to a cleanup day, in several parts of the city of Cap-Haitien, to send a clear signal to the Capoise population on its willingness to contribute to tourism development.

"As a prelude to the Festival of the Sea that will be organized by the Northern Regional Office of the Ministry of Tourism [July 13-15, 2012], we wanted to send a signal to the population, in order to stop throwing garbage all over the streets of the city, which is considered as a Historic and Tourist Capital of the Country. It is also an opportunity for us to get involved in social action and citizenship, alongside our mission, which is to protect and serve the people," declared Carl-Henry Boucher Director of the PHN in the Northern Department.

The cleanup day was strongly supported by the Northern Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Tourism, particularly in terms of logistics, and Ms. Dieudonne E. Luma, the Director of the Ministry of Tourism in the Northern Region, has applauded the initiative taken by the PNH, and promised to continue the awareness campaign among the population, to ensure sustainable tourism development in the community.
