Sustainable Tourism Reform: Vanuatu’s Department of Tourism has kicked off a major two-day sustainable tourism consultation in Luganville (6–7 July), with Port Vila sessions following (8–9 July), bringing together operators, agencies and regional partners to modernise tourism governance and better support communities. Cruise Community Support: Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Adventure docked in Port Vila and handed over tableware for outer-island bungalow, guesthouse and homestay operators, aiming to ease ongoing economic pressure. Digital Travel Guide Boost: South Pacific Pocket Guide launched VanuatuPocketGuide.com, a new online planning resource built from a five-week on-the-ground research trip across Efate and beyond, with hundreds of articles and photos and more planned for 2026–27. Tourism & Aviation Links: While not Vanuatu-specific, Air Niugini’s return of direct Port Moresby–Tokyo flights from 18 July is a reminder of growing Pacific connectivity that can feed Vanuatu travel demand. Outer-Island Tourism Context: The week’s cruise and guide launches underline a clear theme: getting more visitors to plan beyond the main hubs, and supporting the businesses that host them.
