Exhibitors represented product out of Tahiti, Vanuatu, Samoa, New Caledonia and Fiji.

Moana McKeen, trade manager New Zealand with Tahiti Tourisme, says the destination has seen a big increase in multi generational family business.‘ Some use private villas, others hotels, and some cruise. It is as diverse as any other market, though they tend to focus on Tahiti and Moorea rather than other islands unless they cruise. We’ve always catered to the cultural and educational markets and we are continuing to work on those.’ McKeen says the NTO’s next famil for 10 agents is in November and is fully subscribed. ‘We have three fam trips a year and 20 of the agents will be first time travellers to the destination – the other 10 repeat visitors. It is still a key goal of ours to have agents experience the destination and we want to support that as much as we can.’ She says Air Tahiti Nui continues to offer special agent fares and accommodation providers also have trade rates.
