Vanuatu travel agents roadshow wrapped up in Sydney, following two other successful events in Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia.
Kicking off in Brisbane, agents came together to meet with industry partners and test their Vanuatu knowledge during a relaxed, fun and informative evening while being entertained by vibrant traditional Vanuatu dancers.
The Sydney event, hosted by Vanuatu Tourism Office (VTO) Australia and joined by VTO’s general manager Linda Kalpoi and marketing manager Allan Kalfabun, provided an interactive platform for agents to get updates and news first-hand, and also learn how they can best match their customers’ needs with the diverse offerings of Vanuatu.

Nine major prizes were generously provided by the Vanuatu tourism industry with the winner of the trivia prize going to Mervi Rautiainen Dive Adventures, who won a trip to Vanuatu including flights with Air Vanuatu, four nights at Iririki Island Resort, two nights at Holiday Inn Resort Vanuatu and two nights at White Grass Ocean Resort.
