Original Author: TTW

Tourism in the Pacific is playing a major role in promoting peace, preserving culture, and supporting sustainable growth. As part of World Tourism Day 2024, with its theme of “Tourism and Peace,” the Pacific region is being recognized for how tourism boosts local economies while fostering cultural exchange and environmental protection.

Through the Pacific Sustainable Tourism Policy Framework (PSTPF), the region focuses on balancing tourism development with conservation, making sure local communities are involved in managing their natural and cultural heritage. Cultural tourism, like traditional music, dance, and local cuisine, strengthens mutual understanding between tourists and locals, while also helping preserve the region’s rich history.

Facing climate change and natural disasters, Pacific nations are pushing for sustainable tourism practices to protect their ecosystems, ensuring tourism remains a force for peace and development for years to come.
