Vanuatu Tourism Marketing: Vanuatu Tourism Office has launched “Vanuatu Uncovered,” its most personal campaign yet, running to 21 November and aimed at Australians via social channels and vanuatu.travel/answerthecall, with five episodes filmed across Efate, Espiritu Santo and Tanna and built around Ni-Vanuatu stories and living culture. Pacific Travel Policy: Australia has published the list of 12 countries eligible for its new Pacific Engagement Visa permanent residence pathway, including Vanuatu, Tonga and Palau—an important signal for long-term visitor and resident flows. Vanuatu Legal Move: Vanuatu has filed with the International Court of Justice seeking recognition of sovereignty over Umaenupne (Matthew) and Umaeneag (Hunter) islands and a single maritime boundary with France/New Caledonia. Health & Tourism Link: A fifth Chinese medical team has departed Beijing for Vanuatu to support the Vanuatu-China Medical Center, including radiology and nuclear medicine—filling local healthcare gaps that matter for visitor confidence too. Regional Context: The Pacific Islands Forum in Palau closed with climate action commitments and ongoing geopolitical friction around Taiwan and China, while leaders also pushed for more practical delivery on climate and security. Deals for Visitors: Solomon Airlines has an earlybird sale from Brisbane to Santo (Vanuatu) plus Honiara and Munda (Solomons), with one-way fares from AUD$429.
