Tourism Marketing: Vanuatu Tourism Office has launched “Vanuatu Uncovered,” its most personal campaign yet, running until 21 November across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, aiming to reach 7 million Australians and driving people to vanuatu.travel/answerthecall with five story-led episodes filmed on Efate, Espiritu Santo and Tanna. Outer-Island Development: The Department of Tourism completed a mission to Aneityum and Futuna (30 Aug–6 Sep), assessing products and meeting operators and communities, with a push to grow tourism beyond cruise and Tanna—spotlighting hiking, agritourism, conservation and community homestays on Aneityum and early steps to open Futuna to visitors. Health & Travel Safety: The US CDC updated a Level 1 travel advisory for dengue, flagging higher-than-expected cases among US travelers returning from Vanuatu and urging bite prevention (repellent, long sleeves, screened or air-conditioned rooms). Regional Mobility: Australia has released the list of 12 countries eligible for its Pacific Engagement Visa, including Vanuatu—an important long-term pathway that could shape future travel and people-to-people links. Media & Climate Reporting: Vanuatu took part in Pacific Media Mana Class 2026 in Tonga, training journalists to report more clearly on weather, climate and ocean risks.
