The SPTO is therefore in the process of finalizing a research report on cultural tourism in the region.

This will be shared with all key tourism stakeholders to assist them in sustainably growing the industry whilst still maintaining their cultural heritage.

Meanwhile SPTO is positive about targeting its new market in the Asian region.

Fishing, Diving, Romance and Relaxation also tops the list of things to do across the South Pacific.
