Hotel facilities are growing in Haiti. This year Haiti reported the largest expected room supply growth in the region, +58.2%, if all 560 rooms in the country’s total active pipeline open, according to SRT.

Despite the yearly growth, Haiti has only about 2,500 hotel rooms, compared to the Dominican Republic next door, which has over 60,000 rooms.

Lately, a number of new hotels are entering the Haitian market: the 105-room Best Western Premier located in Petionville just opened its doors last month; Kinam, a hotel that is adding 85 more rooms; El Rancho Hotel will reopen and add additional rooms after being closed for three years due to the earthquake; and Royal Oasis, a new 128-room hotel managed by Occidental that opened in December last year. Most recently, the construction of a new 84-room hotel called Monte-Cristo Hôtel & Suites was announced .

Six other Caribbean countries reported expected room supply growth of more than 10 percent this year: Anguilla (+31.3 percent with 220 rooms); Turks & Caicos (+26.3 percent with 747 rooms); St. Kitts/Nevis (+19.6 percent with 310 rooms); Bahamas (+17.7 percent with 2,468 rooms); Dominica (+15.8 percent with 100 rooms); and Aruba (+10.3 percent with 630 rooms).

The total active pipeline includes projects in the "In Construction, Final Planning and Planning" stages, but does not include projects in the Pre-Planning stage.

The Caribbean/Mexico hotel development pipeline includes 118 hotels totaling 20,015 rooms.
