Haiti was one of the top vacation destinations for wealthy Americans back then,
Until the "Tree Islands" and "Come Back to Jamaica" tv ad campaigns came through and crushed the buildings.

Basically when those ads were on, if you were an Islander......uneducated people saw you as having to be from whichever ad they had just seen. Either the USVI or JA. The very first Fugees single "Boof Baff" made a reference to that.
