Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said Saturday he recognizes that's an ambitious dream for a country where 52 percent of the people live below the poverty line and where infrastructure is desperately lacking.
Still, he pushed that concept — and a bid to build up Haiti's tourism industry — in meetings with CEOs this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
