The Haitian identity, also called “haitianity” is notably expressed in the diaspora. In this paper, our objective is to figure out how this haitianity can be used as a boost for the territorial development of Haiti (with a particular focus on the tourism industry). The positive impacts of the diaspora on the Haitian territorial dynamic deserve to be taken into consideration particularly when it comes to the development of the tourism sector. However, one of the main issues with the development of this activity in Haiti is the creation of enclaves.
