Expo to boost Tourism in PNG

The two days Tourism Expo is currently happening at the Port Moresby Nature Park with over 30 exhibitors participating in the expo.

Today’s program saw representatives from hotels, guest houses, air line companies and tour companies providing information to the public on the different services they provide in the Tourism Industry .

Marketing Director for PNG Tourism Promotion Authority Mrs Alice Kuaningi says this is an important event for the general public as well as the Tourism Industry to mingle and find out what we all can do to boost the Tourism Industry in PNG.

“Tourists travel to PNG to experience something different from their own country and they are willing to pay for the services provided by the organisations displayed here at Expo.”

“They don’t want to experience the usual, they want to experience our culture and we’ve introduced them to activities that can really allow them to see Papua New Guinea” said Mrs Kuaningi.

She said the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority are looking at promoting activities like kayaking, Tracking, Bird watching, fishing and other activities that relate to PNG context so tourists can really experience our diverse culture & tradition.
