By facilitating inwards investment, we strengthen economic growth, business opportunities and job creation for the people of the Pacific Islands.

WE DO THIS BY:

• Improving and facilitating the marketing of niche Pacific Island tourism services and products;
• Providing data and statistical reports on tourist arrivals and statistics from key markets into Pacific Island countries;
• Introducing potential investors to invest in new and established tourism businesses and development projects in the Pacific Islands;
• Providing promotional support, marketing advice and expertise;
• Assistance in developing marketing material and websites;
• Providing funding for regional tourism marketing initiatives;
• Partnering with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to develop rural based tourism activities; and
• Supporting skills development through capacity building initiatives.

Through our regional offices (see them here), we have established buyer networks and provide much needed on-the-ground professional services in four high priority markets – New Zealand, Australia, China and Japan (see them here) – to fast track business connections and in-market promotional opportunities.

By providing trade facilitation and export marketing advice, we build on the services of national agencies, drawing on the resources and expertise of our international partners (link to partnerships) to leverage better business outcomes for our clients.
