75% of players answered correctly.
THE CORRECT ANSWER: The North
The Caracol Industrial Park, inaugurated in 2012, is located in the Northern department of Haiti, near Cap-Haïtien. Designed to boost the northern region's economy after the 2010 earthquake, this modern complex has become a pillar of the national textile industry.Mainly focused on the subcontracting of clothing for the North American market, it benefits from the pricing advantages of the American HELP/HOPE law. The park functions as a free zone, providing self-sustaining energy infrastructure and logistics facilities to attract foreign direct investment. By employing thousands of local workers, Caracol plays a crucial role in the country's industrial decentralization, traditionally concentrated around the capital. Despite the logistical and socio-economic challenges of the region, this site remains a major example of an attempt to modernize Haitian production infrastructures.
