Bill Clinton, slathered in sunscreen, urged Americans to explore the riches of Haitian tourism on Friday as he took a VIP trip to a mountain palace and a nearby beach where a cruise ship pier is being built.
The appeal to tourists is part of the former U.S. president’s crusade to help the hemisphere’s poorest nation emerge from a cycle of poverty and instability — problems that helped destroyed a once thriving tourism industry here.
