Jacmel (Haitian Creole: Jakmèl) is an arrondissement in the Sud-Est department of Haiti.
This initiative was created to help stimulate a self-sustained tourism economy for Haiti.
Michael Capponi, founder of the Capponi Group, formed the Jacmel Advisory Council to help revitalize Jacmel, while preserving its arts, culture and traditions.
The board promotes best practices to provide a socio-economic system for thousands of Haitians living in the south east region.
Capponi Group Haiti is also restoring a 200-year-old coffee sorting house on the port of Jacmel.
