Former United States President Bill Clinton pointed to Dominican businesses as models to be emulated while addressing a group of business leaders during his visit to Haiti last week. According to Hoy newspaper, Clinton said that projects like the Punta Cana Airport run by the Punta Cana Group were models that Haiti could follow. He suggested that such a venture in Cap-Haitien could be interesting for investors. He also pointed out that textile manufacturing along the lines developed by Grupo M and Fernando Capellan would be beneficial. According to reports, Clinton invited the Haitian government to consider the Punta Cana experience for use in Haiti's Cap-Haitien area. He also said that the Dominican business community could help their Haitian counterparts in the areas of tourism, free zones and in textiles. Also mentioned during the meeting were the possibility of help with beer, poultry production and agro-industrial production.
