He took the opportunity to announce that about twenty musical and allegorical chariots will participate in the parade. As for the estimated budget, the budget is 240 million gourdes (± 3.5 million US dollars), the same budget as the 2012 National Carnival which took place in Les Cayes. Noting that the government had already contributed 50 million Gourdes via the Ministry of Culture, which relies on traditional sponsors to continue to commit, as all remaining funds are not yet insured he indicated. Concerning accommodation facilities, Mayor Fortuné recalled that 16 of the 18 communes had a quality hotel reception to receive the carnavaliers, which includes more rooms than in 2012.
