Best Western International recently opened its first property in Haiti - Best Western Premier Petion-Ville. The 106 room full-service hotel is located in the business corridor north of Port-au-Prince and will provided lodging and meeting space for financial and government institutions, humanitarian organisations, non-government organisations and business and leisure travellers visiting the country.
“The opening of the Best Western Premier Petion-Ville, provides critically needed hotel rooms, creates jobs and revenue for the local economy and is a reflection of the continuing progress being made towards the recovery of Haiti,”
said Mark Williams, Vice President of North American Development, Best Western International.
Best Western International initially signed a development deal with Carabimmo SA in 2008 and was scheduled to begin construction within weeks of when the devastating earthquake hit in January 2010. Williams credits the local ownership group’s tenacity, drive and desire to bring positive growth to Haiti with being able to overcome incredible obstacles and move this project forward to completion.
