The Tourist Police (PoliTour), a specialized unit of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) celebrated this week its 5 years of existence and services within the Haitian tourism sector.

Recalling that the Politour works with the Ministry of Tourism in establishing a vital security climate for all operators in the tourist chain as well as potential tourists wishing to visit Haiti.
