Labadee ((フランス語:Labadie)) is a port located on the northern coast of Haiti. It is a private resort leased to the private company Royal Caribbean International until 2050. Royal Caribbean International has contributed the largest proportion of tourist revenue to Haiti since 1986, employing 300 locals, allowing another 200 to sell their wares on the premises for a fee〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Could this paradise really be poor, desperate Haiti? )〕 and paying the Haitian government US$10 per tourist, increasing to US$12 in March 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Haiti's local community to benefit from additional fee from cruise passengers )〕 The resort is completely tourist-oriented, and is guarded by a private security force. The site is fenced off from the surrounding area, and passengers are not allowed to leave the property. Food available to tourists is brought from the cruise ships. A controlled group of Haitian merchants are given sole rights to sell their merchandise and establish their businesses in the resort. Although sometimes described as an island in advertisements, it is actually a peninsula contiguous with the island of Hispaniola. The cruise ship moors to the pier at Labadee capable of servicing the Oasis class ships, which was completed in late 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Labadee )〕 Attractions include a Haitian flea market, beaches, watersports, a water-oriented playground, an alpine coaster, and a zip-line.〔 〕 == Etymology == The location is named after the marquis de La Badie, a Frenchman who first settled the area in the 17th century. The peninsula and a village were named Labadie.〔 The cruise company spells the name "Labadee" to make it easier for English-speakers to pronounce.〔(Cruise Travel - Google Books )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Labadee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
